The MV Logos Hope, the world’s largest floating book fair, will return to Freeport Harbour from September 19 to 30, marking its third visit to Grand Bahama.

The ship carries 300 volunteers from more than 65 countries. While docked, crews will take part in community projects, including beach clean-ups, painting schools, assisting at the Grand Bahama Children’s Home, and offering free eye tests and glasses.

“Our vision is to share knowledge through good quality literature at affordable prices, offer practical help through projects in the community, and encourage people with hope,” said Nassau project coordinator Dominik Germann.

Books will be discounted by up to 80 percent, with events for children, youth, and professionals. Admission is $2. Children under 12 and seniors 65 and older enter free. Those under 18 must be accompanied by an adult.

The ship will be accessible via the north gate of Freeport Harbour. Visitors are advised to wear closed-toe shoes due to the gravel surface.
