More than 9,700 students had been exposed to over 50 of those presenters and received over 15,000 free books written by them. Over 3,000 community members participated in the free Authors on the Plaza event and received more than 2,5000 free books. SVAF 360 had reached more than 6,500 persons worldwide, and over 17,000 presentations had been viewed online by them.
