As part of The Hindu Lit Fest 2024, The Hindu has invited readers to donate books to the mobile library van, which will go around the city to spread the joy of reading.
The Fest will be held at Sir Mutha Venkatasubba Rao Concert Hall on January 26 and 27. Readers can drop books in the donation box placed near the security room at The Hindu office on Anna Salai. These books will be given to school libraries. The donated books will be carried across Chennai in the mobile van. People can read them, and donate books as well when the vehicle will be stationed at different locations in the next week.
Interested persons can register and attend the event by scanning the QR code on the vehicle.
G Square will be partnering with The Hindu Lit Fest 2024 to encourage and cultivate reading habit among children. It will also give a contribution to 30 schools across the Chennai, Tiruvallur, Coimbatore and Tiruchi regions and donate a customised book library rack and a collection of 400 new books of various genres in a bid to make reading accessible.
