President Nangolo Mbumba says reading is a gateway to knowledge, a catalyst for imagination, and a cornerstone of education.

Speaking at the opening of the world's largest floating book fair, Logos Hope at Walvis Bay, Dr. Mbumba said reading books opens doors to new ideas and broadens one's perspective.

The world's largest floating book fair, Logos Hope, is ready to host thousands of visitors as she docks at Walvis Bay harbor this afternoon for a three-week visit.

Erongo Governor Neville Andre and the Logos Hope advance preparation team held a media conference to announce the vessel's program.
