Third Book Exchange Day held
PoliticsUlaanbaatar /MONTSAME/ On March 4, Saturday, the 3rd Book Exchange Day was co-organized by Department of Arts and Culture of the City Administration and Public Library of Ulaanbaatar at the central square.
Enabling opportunities for readers to make a mutually beneficial exchange of books, and aiming to enrich the archive of the Public Library with rare books from readers, the event is held on the first Saturdays of every month .
Z.Tugsjargal, Chief of Division in charge of assembling books at the Ulaanbaatar Public Library said that the library had brought some 400 fairy tales, literature, history and other books to the event. He said, “People usually keep their old books without use. Therefore, we’re offering to exchange those books with modern, new books. During the previous two Book Exchange events, we collected some 150 rare and valuable books. We’re confident that the event will provide opportunities to gather more books in the months to come”.
Participants of the book exchanging event expressed their gratitude towards the organizers for the opportunity to expand and update their personal libraries. Elder T.Minjuur said, “I have a personal collection of 300 books, and today, I brought 5 for exchange. I encourage the younger generation to read books”.
