The National Media Council, NMC, has launched the “Pen Print” initiative to encourage members of the community to make a habit of visiting book stores located in malls and commercial centres.

The initiative – part of the NMC’s efforts to support the Month of Reading in March 2018 – also supports Emirati writers, promotes their publications in cultural and intellectual circles, and works to increase book sales in libraries and commercial complexes in order to promote knowledge and culture as a way of life in the UAE.
