GLF continues to be on print

Montefiore, Katherine Frank, Nayantara Sahgal, Shashi Tharoor as well as
Sri Lankan local and diaspora writers such as Romesh Gunesekera, Randy
Boyagoda and Roshi Fernando.
  Printcare’s partnership with the Galle Literary Festival enables the
festival to achieve their original mandate of bringing internationally
acclaimed authors to a wide local audience, thus aiding the development
of tourism, as well as giving due precedence to the rich and diverse
cultural heritage of Sri Lanka. The festival, through its Children’s
Outreach Programme, is able to extend its programming to school children
and teachers from all regions and cultural communities in Sri Lanka.
Printcare takes great pride in supporting one of the most looked
forward to events in the national calendar. It has a longstanding
commitment to improve the level of education and learning in Sri Lanka
and is strongly supportive of the President's vision of making Sri Lanka
a knowledge hub. By supporting the festival Printcare continues to
support the learning of English language in Sri Lanka - encourage
writers in Sri Lanka to showcase their skills and give them
opportunities to develop their skills by meeting a wide range of
talented writers. It also encourages foreign writers to visit and
experience Sri Lanka and promotes the historic city of Galle.
Following the success of last year’s festival programme, this year’s
book continues to include information on the heritage of Galle, the
festival background, main and children’s programmes, information on
participants and moderators, festival venues and a current and
comprehensive guide to Galle and its surroundings. There are useful
additions such as recipe cards, bookmarks and a pull out map. Printcare
uses its experience and expertise to work with the GLF team to produce a
book with creative design, well written content, and great quality
printing and finishing, making the festival book a collector’s item to
be treasured.
