MIRI – The book donation project ‘Books of Love’ co-organized by Pustaka Miri and Mega Hotel succeeded in collecting a total of 374 books and handed over to Sekolah Tunas Bakti (P) Miri on 22nd June 2014.

The corporate social responsibility (CSR) project, which started from 20th May until 20th June 2014, was made possible with the additional assistance from kind members of the public who donated new and used books through book bins placed in the library an hotel’s lobby.

The main target was to collect 250 books to assist Sekolah Tunas Bakti (P) Miri in improving their library collection and the organizers are overwhelmingly happy that they have achieved more than expected.

The project’s objective was to give an opportunity to the community to show that they care by doing a charitable deed as in donating books. It was also an effort in encouraging healthy reading habit, especially amongst children and the younger generation.

The school’s Assistant Principal Cynthia Mathew Lugun received the donation during the closing ceremony of Pustaka Miri’s Knowledge Camp 2014 which was held for the students of the school.

She thanked both organizations for the continuous support towards the school over the years. Their library, she explained, is in much need for improvement and thanks to the book donation, they are a step closer in refurbishing it for the students. The school is also benefiting from bulk loan service provided by Pustaka Miri.

Also present during the ceremony were Pustaka Miri’s Regional Manager Hajah Salina Hj. Zawawi, Mega Hotel’s EXCO Lim Siok Leng and Communications Manager Jenny Chen.

Meanwhile, the Knowledge Camp held over the weekend (21 and 22 June 2014) was conducted in the school for its 34 students. It was conducted and facilitated by staff of Pustaka Miri with the assistance of those of Sekolah Tunas Bakti (P) Miri.

“We hope that we are able to make a difference and contribute to the development as well as motivation amongst the students so that they are equipped with the much needed skills and knowledge in pursuing their future undertakings,” said Salina in her closing address.

Moreover, it was a part of the ongoing effort by the library to reach out to the community regardless where and who the target audience are.

The students participated in the many fun yet educational activities organized throughout the two days. They include Information Literacy Skills (ILS) session, ‘Lets Get Creative and Imaginative’, ‘Teamwork Works’, Star Gazing with Malaysian Nature Society (MNS) Miri, ‘Front and Center’ Public Speaking Session, Dining Table Etiquette and Bed Make-up Demo with Mega Hotel Miri; and ‘Ngeso Bakat’ Talent Show.

A total of 47 pints of precious blood was collected, mostly from the 20th Battalion of the Royal Malay Regiment (Batalion Ke-20 Rejimen Askar Melayu DiRaja – 20 RAMD).

The event was held from 8:30am to 12:30pm at the library’s Ground Floor Foyer and saw regular as well as new donors doing their bid in helping to save lives by donating precious blood.

Successful donors were given tokens of appreciation as well as light refreshment.

The crucial objective in particular was to help Miri Blood Bank to stock up for the fasting month of Ramadhan.

Pustaka Miri has been organizing regular blood donation drives since 2003 and was recently acknowledged for the effort by the Malaysian Red Crescent Miri Chapter.

The library will hold another blood donation drive this December together with its smart partner Mega Hotel Miri.
