Everyone is so into mobile interaction (legit conversations be like, "What's your IG? Are you on Tinder?" — or vice versa)

Anything that gives a quick access to everything makes everyone drool. From LEGO vending machines to mashed potato in a cup, it's the way the world goes round.

This is why and how [The Book Stop Project] (https://www.facebook.com/TheBookStopPH/?fref=ts) started. The Book Stop is a bite-sized library built for a culture that is being accustomed to consuming literature in easily digestible pieces.

The concept of this bite-sized library is not unheard of, but it is not yet common in the Philippines.

The Book Stop wanted to take the idea of the library and change the way that most people perceive it by placing them in accessible places to encourage reading and passion for literature and promote the sharing of ideas through the redistribution of books.

Last 23 April this year, The Book Stop Project launched during [Instituto Cervantes de Manila's] (https://www.facebook.com/InstitutoCervantesManila/) World Book and Copyright Day in the Ayala Triangle Gardens

After the successful launch in Makati, The Book Stop Project moved in Intramuros, Manila right in front of the Manila Cathedral!
