The hot weather hasn't seemed to curb people's enthusiasm for reading during the first Changchun book expo in Northeast China's Jilin province.

The vast collection of books has attracted many visitors, despite the Internet having greatly changed people's habits in regards to buying and reading books.

"The expo provides a good opportunity for bookworms to look over newly-published books and to spend a little bit of time indulging themselves in a sea of knowledge," said one visitor, who came to the expo in the company of her 10-year-old son.
