The world’s largest floating bookstore is back in Cebu City.
MV Logos Hope docked at the Malacañang sa Sugbu port area yesterday carrying with it over 5,000 books and will formally be opened to the public today.
“We all come together for the same purpose which is to bring knowledge. In many places that we’ve visited, it’s actually not easy to find books in a (local) bookstore because of lack in materials,” said Marina da Luz, German Charity Group coordinator.
Book prices start at P20 each.
