The event was originally slated to run from November 24 to 30.

"You'll have more time to complete your wish list this Christmas," MIBF wrote on Facebook.

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the country's largest book fair has shifted to a digital platform instead of traditionally holding it at the SMX Convention Center.

MIBF is one of the most sought-after book fairs in the country with over 150,000 visitors yearly in its five-day run.

The book fair is the prime venue and events of the printed and digital content industry as well as allied industries such as stationery and other multimedia publishing.
