The Speaker of the House of Representatives, The Hon Anton Tabone, visited the Malta Book Fair at the Trade Fair Grounds, Naxxar. The Speaker was welcomed by Mr Philip Borg, Librarian at the National Malta Library and Secretary of the Organising Committtee of the Malta Book Fair, together with other officials.

The Speaker was accompanied on a tour of the book stands and stopped to speak to most of the publishers and distributors manning the various stands, regarding the nature and fields of specialisation of their particular areas.

The Speaker praised the undertaking of such an initiative in its mission to promulgate knowledge amongst all sections of society. He augured that it may yet expand its already popular following amongst the general public.
