Book lovers in Kenya will soon be treated to a one-of-a-kind floating book fair inside the world's largest ship library. MV Logos Hope, in her travels to thousands of ports across the world to promote literacy and education, will dock in Mombasa on August 21 for a two-week treat. In her two-week visit, the passenger ship-turned-floating library Logos Hope will welcome thousands of Kenyan book lovers up her gangway.

"The floating book fair offers over 5,000 titles, providing many visitors their first-ever opportunity to purchase quality literature," Good Books for All (GBA) Ships, a non-profit German charitable organisation that operates Logos Hope said.
