Sol Literary Festival 2021

We were so happy to invite all local writers and passionate book readers to Sol Literary Festival this Sunday.

Thanks to all of the people who participated in open dialogues on pressing social political and economic issues. Met local authors, and browsed through our collection of locally produced literary work and bought some of them as well.
