The problem with the publication of Kurdish books is getting them out to the people who are yearning to read them. There are few methods of distribution to provide literature for the readers. Libraries, book shops and kiosks are present in some towns, but these don’t exist everywhere. Even in the big cities, the libraries are in the wrong place and there is a lack of proper halls for book fairs.
Despite many efforts, the books never find their way to the right people - books and right readers, like old stories of the lover and the one he longs for, are destined to remain estranged.
But this will not be so for much longer. Aras Publishers have finally found a solution to this perennial problem through launching a mobile bookshop to deliver books to the places where they have failed to reach before. The mobile bookshop is a 15-meter bus, the inside of which is an Aladdin’s cave for book-lovers, holding thousands of titles.
The book bus will strip away the old problems of getting literature to the masses. The Aras bus will come to wherever you are – truly it is a revolution of the Kurdish enlightenment.
