Papemelroti Brings Their Community Library to Two More Locations

Check out Papemelroti's Take a Book, Give a Book Cabinet:

Getting your next read without spending a single peso is no longer just for people from Quezon City. ICYDK, Papemelroti has a community library cabinet at its main store in QC. Here, people can drop off books and borrow any titles on display for free.

While this is great, we have to admit that heading to Papemelroti's Roces Avenue branch isn't easy for Southie bookworms. Lucky for them, they no longer have to travel to the North, as the local brand has expanded its hidden library to two additional branches—this time in the South. 

Head to Ayala Malls Manila Bay and SM City Sucat for your next free read. The Papemelroti branches in these two malls now house Give a Book, Take a Book cabinets, where customers can borrow a book and leave one in exchange for free—no purchase from the store necessary. 

There's no need to rush right now (unless you're really dying to grab your next read). The cabinets aren't going anywhere as they are permanent fixtures in all three branches.

Don't let your budget stop you from reaching your reading goals. Hit up these community libraries and others like it to borrow a free read. Fingers crossed that we get more of these around the Metro. 

Here's a video showing Papemelroti's book cabinet:

Patsy), Peggy, Meldy, Robert, and Tina.

With over 17 branches across the Metro and neighboring provinces, the store is known today for being a haven for arts and crafts and handmade products.
