THE INTRAMUROS Book Stop resumed its operations on February 17 after months of closure because of the pandemic.

Book Stop provides people free books and allows book exchanges.

Book Stop said basic health and safety protocols must be followed like wearing masks, maintaining physical distancing of at least one meter, and observing proper hygiene at all times.

It can refuse entry to those who fail to comply with the basic safety procedures.

The Book Stop is a pop-up library that encourages reading and a passion for books and promotes the sharing of ideas through the redistribution of books.

In 2016, the Book Stop won two international awards for the Philippines: the Architizer Award in New York, where it garnered both the People’s and the Jury’s awards; and a shortlist to the World Architecture Festival in Berlin, where it was nominated as World Building for the year 2016.

In 2018 it was nominated for the Haligi ng Dangal Awards.

The Book Stop is a property of the Intramuros Administration.
