30th Manila International Book Fair

The 30th Manila International Book Fair (MIBF) will be held on September 16-20, 2009 at the SMX Convention Center, Mall of Asia Complex, Pasay City.

This is the 2nd year the MIBF will be held at the MOA and as our practice in previous MIBF, we will post the forum and other concurrent activities during the book fair as soon as we have the details so we could better plan our itinerary and maximize our attendance to this annual librarian's ritual.
