Free E-books For Patients Under Quarantine
In South Korea an e-book subscription service that began in 2017, Millie’s Library, is offering people under home quarantine and coronavirus patients free access to their 50,000 title library for two months. “Millie’s said that its decision to allow free access to its library was a way of ‘giving back to society.’”
Mobile Library
The Echo Mobile Library in Greece was founded in 2016 and operates thanks to its 15 volunteer team to bring books to refugee camps. “’There is one family who speak Urdu and the mother had made her way through every single Urdu book we had,’ Dignan says. ‘When I was back in London I looked all over the place for another Urdu book and eventually I found one.’”
