10-day StoryBox book fair at Anand Vihar station draws crowds
The StoryBox book fair is happening at the Anand Vihar Namo Bharat station.
It began on August 14 and will last for 10 days, until August 23.
It is open to everyone from 9 in the morning to 10 at night.
There are more than 20,000 original books to browse, in both Hindi and English.
Readers can explore fiction, non-fiction, classics, and children's books.
The fun part is that you buy books by the box!
You choose a StoryBox Mini or a StoryBox Biggie and fill it with as many books as you can fit.
Visitors can also meet authors, get books signed, and buy special merchandise.
The fair is organised by NCRTC, the company that runs Namo Bharat stations.
It turns a regular train ride into a fun adventure with books.
The 10-day StoryBox book fair at Anand Vihar Namo Bharat station runs from August 14 to August 23, open daily from 9 AM to 10 PM.
More than 20,000 original books across genres are on offer, in both Hindi and English.
Visitors can buy books by the box through the StoryBox Mini or StoryBox Biggie options instead of purchasing individual books.
