Here's two types of entertainment in one. Mini libraries have been set up in the social spaces of selected Golden Screen Cinemas (GSC) outlets in the Klang Valley.

Moviegoers can now read, exchange or even donate their old books at these mini libraries, which are the product of GSC’s partnership with non-profit organisation Friends To Mankind (FtoM). This is part of FtOM’s Book Effect campaign, which aims to promote reading habits.
