Lahore's Sunday Book Bazaar Struggles Against Digital Age Impact
In Lahore, a traditional Sunday book bazaar near Mall Road and Anarkali continues to serve as a symbol of the city's intellectual and cultural heritage. This market, dedicated to used and rare books, faces challenges from the digital age, which has transformed how people access information. The rise of smartphones and the internet has led to a decline in neighborhood libraries and reduced the role of printed books. Despite these challenges, the market remains a destination for readers seeking rare novels, textbooks, and literary classics. Booksellers report that inflation has affected sales, as buying books is no longer a priority for many families. However, the market still attracts readers who value the experience of holding a book and turning its pages.
