Books galore on Logos Hope

THE world's largest floating book fair, the MV Logos Hope made her first visit to Durban last week and will be open to the public in N-Shed Passenger Terminal until 3 April.

With 400 crew members from across the globe, including quite a few South Africans, the unique vessel offers exclusive on-board events for the whole family, in addition to its ample array of quality affordable books.

The anticipated arrival of the ship did not disappoint local guests at the colourful official opening ceremony on Thursday morning.

Guests can experience unique cultures and hear stories from people who have come from all over the world.

The ship's Durban born director, Seelan Govender, said he was happy to be home at the opening ceremony. “I started this journey many years ago on the Doulos with a vision to make a difference and impact the world and I'm glad to bring the ship home to bring the message of hope and bring good news through books and have our amazing crew share their stories with the people of Durban,” he added.

The ship has an expanded selection of more than 5000 book titles at affordable prices, which includes children's titles, academic titles, science, hobbies, dictionaries, atlases, and more on board.
