The organizers of the Bologna Children's Book Fair have affirmed that the fair intends to hold its event in-person this coming March 21-24. "We are monitoring the omicron Covid situation very closely and it is expected to peak in Italy quite soon, well before the fair," said Elena Pasoli, exhibition manager of the fair. The event will again include exhibitions, seminars, workshops, and lectures. This year will also see the first in-person edition of BolognaBookPlus, the new program for general and adult trade publishers. The United Arab Emirate of Sharjah is the guest of honor.
