In the second part, the participants (representatives of National Parliamentary Library, Publishing house "Logos press", Book store "Book City", online magazine "Liberali", etc.) were very actively involved in the conversation. During the discussion some very important notes were mentioned:
- Readers' attitude to the books is based on the self-motivation;
- The links between reading habits and readers' socio-economic status;
- Bookselling is depended on the price of the book;
- The lack of interest to e-books in Georgia;
- The most popular place for reading, etc.
During the professional discussion a few useful recommendations were produced:
- to establish the campaign "book as a present", especially in the regions of Georgia;
- to maintain the trainings for the book store consultants to increase the quality of service;
- to promote the reading campaigns for children not only at schools, but outside, for example, parks, open spaces and so on.
