A LOCAL public library in Quezon City gave books to school children to help them keep learning amid the Covid19 pandemic.

The Quezon City 2nd District public library on Facebook said this simple gesture makes the children feel they are ‘loved’.

“Seeing happy faces of the children as they received the big books and a pack of Milo, is a simple gesture showing that they are loved,” its  post said.

This activity was to encourage schoolchildren to continue reading books, instill in their minds the love for reading and enjoy while staying at home.

Along with the books, they also distributed packs of chocolate drinks with the help of parent-leader Olive Acma.

Meanwhile, the QC public library staff followed strict health protocols, such as physical distancing, wearing of mask and face shields, and surgical gloves when they distributed the books to every household.
