| Makeover draws the crowds for new home of books in Subang Jaya Posted: 20 Aug 2013 11:58 PM PDT The makeover is thanks to MPSJ's Jawatankuasa Penduduk Zon 3 (JKP3), which provided funds for the renovation, and Subang Jaya assemblywoman Hannah Yeoh, whose office contributed RM4, 000 to furnish the cabin. Bookworms who have unwanted books now have a place to exchange them for other books for free. The BEP will be holding an official launch for its new cabin on Sunday, 25 August 2013 from 3 - 5pm. The event will be launched by Yeoh, who is also Selangor state assembly Speaker, a first for a woman in Malaysia. Besides the book exchange, there will be an interactive storytelling session by FuziMagic, a benefit-for-children establishment. FuziMagic will also hold a toy donation drive on the day. The Persatuan Kebajikan Kanak-kanak Kurang Upaya Subang Jaya (P3KU) will have disabled children showcasing their artistic talents and selling hand painted aprons and paperweights. Times Bookstores has generously contributed 50 RM10 book vouchers for the first 50 families who participate in the book exchange. MPSJ councillor Dr Loi Kheng Min of JKP3 allowed BEP the sole use of the cabin, which belongs to MPSJ. The community programme, which began in 2009, previously held its book exchange sessions at the USJ 2 Community Hall on the first and third Sunday of the month. "We used to pack our books in boxes, which we would carry out from the storage room during each book exchange. We couldn't put up bookshelves since we were sharing the hall with others in the community. "With our own cabin, we intend to hold book exchange sessions more frequently and other book-related activities. There's a children's corner for kids to play and read as well as a reading zone for visitors. "We hope the BEP Cabin will serve as a hangout spot for readers of all ages and to promote the reading habit among the Subang Jaya community," said BEP coordinator Yong Sheet Fay. Date: Sunday 25 August 2013 Time: 3 - 5pm Venue: BEP Cabin Jalan USJ 12/2F (located on field about 200m away from Surau al-Muttaqun) For more information, please contact Lim Su Lyn (012-2249721) or visit our Facebook page. – August 21, 2013. |
