Starting from 6 – 9 in the morning and 30 books were provided.
The event was held under the shady trees so that make a lot of people read in the UNTAN Bookpacker stalls. Visitors in car free day can read books after being tired of exercising. Grantees also provided mineral water for visitors to Bookpacker. For visitors who are still in college and high school, this is also becoming the place for the introduction of VDMI scholarships to them.
Adding cash money to grantees of VDMI UNTAN, on this occasion also held activities to sell snacks or snacks. This is expected to be a capital in making further activities. “This activity is very good because it can add insight and cultivate reading books again.
