On February 1, hundreds of people flocked to the Shibbari More in Khulna city to participate in Book Road Khulna, a donation drive initiated by Facebook groups Book Bank and Entertainment All In One. The event provided the bookworms of Khulna with a unique opportunity to share their books with the community.
The Facebook groups helped spread the word about the donation, and student volunteers picked up the books from 10 pick-up points across the city and also through a virtual live donation campaign.
Mohammed Moinul Islam Shantonu, a veteran, donated more than 200 books from his collection containing some of the rarest and oldest books of Bangladesh.
