National Book Store Foundation, Inc.

Driven by the mutual desire to promote literacy and readership awareness among Filipino children, National Book Store Inc. (NBSI), Anvil Publishing, Inc. and the Reading Association of the Philippines (RAP) launched the Buklat Aklat Mobile Library Project in 1998. Buklat Aklat is a collection of about 500 books covering the fields of Math, Science, Philippine Literature and Culture that visits public elementary schools, public libraries and barangays nationwide. The mobile library gives every Filipino child the chance to freely browse and read good books. The responses from each school visited across the country were really overwhelming since many of them do not have libraries at all. But due to logistical problems, Buklat Aklat temporarily halted. It was then revived after National Book Store Foundation, Inc. (NBSFI) was established towards the end of 2004.

NBSFI holds the responsibility for the continuous implementation of the Buklat Aklat Mobile Library Project as its acts as the official socio-civic arm of NBSI. The alarming problem of inaccessibility to basic services in education has also prompted NBSFI to venture to other projects that aims to help the underprivileged acquire rightful access to quality education.

These projects are not only limited to the mobile library but also has extended to book and school supplies donation programs. For more information about NBSFI and its projects, check our corporate website: www.nbsstores.com/nbsfoundation.asp
