National Library offers children thousands of e-books for free


Though Lara is home-bound, the bookworm is turning to e-library portals and online websites to download free books.

The National Library has been shut from March 16 till April 30 but if you're a book enthusiast, don't fret.

Just go onto the National Library's website (pnm.elib.com.my), where the public can now access 13.2 million e-reading materials for free. This was launched as part of their "please sit at home and read" campaign in line with the government's movement control order.
