Bookworm library in Mala, Fontainhas has come up with a very interesting concept to encourage the young generation to get into the habit of reading, not just reading virtually but to have the joy of holding those hard cover books.
There is an entirely different feeling to reading books when you hold it in your hand rather than having a screen to read from, the joy of enjoying the hard top covers, the old paper smell and crisp pages is all the fun of reading books.
This is the idea of Bookworm who has introduced this concept on having a mobile library called Bookworm’s travelling library.
