It's open Saturdays, 8 a.m. to 4 p.m.
(SPOT.ph) The Quezon Memorial Circle is usually known for weekend bazaars, street eats, or as a space to jog, date, and spend time with family. Now, there’s one more thing you can do here and it’s free.
The Quezon City Public Library has opened a Mobile Library at the circle, providing a new space for young readers to explore new worlds between pages.

Reading Space for the Youth
The public library is open on Saturdays, from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m., inside the public park. In a post on Facebook, the Quezon City Government said the Quezon City Public Library hopes to bring the free reading space closer to the city’s youth.
“Layon ng QCPL na mas mailapit sa mga kabataang QCitizens na bumibisita sa QMC ang book nook na ito tuwing Sabado,” it said.
The Mobile Library offers a range of books for both kids and young adults, among them starter books for children, general knowledge textbooks for grade schoolers and high schoolers, and contemporary literature. It has a sitting area fit for children and their parents, or guardians, and some toys the kids may play with.
The QC Public Library has a total 21 branches across the city, all open Mondays to Fridays at daytime. The Mobile Library augments this service with weekend operations.
The public library also offers regular reading and math tutorials to help hone these skills among the city’s children.
Books for Mother’s Day
The QC Public Library also provides online access to literature via its official portal.
In time for Mother’s Day, it shared 10 e-books touching on women’s health and relationships, and women’s rights that are accessible to registered QC residents via its official website.
“Here is a collection of ebooks to honor all the mothers who are heroes in many aspects of life,” the public library said in a Facebook post.
