KUALA Lumpur City Hall (DBKL) hopes to instal some 600 book kiosks around the city with an aim to instil a lifelong reading habit among the public.

City mayor Datuk Nor Hisham Ahmad Dahlan said while the initial idea for book kiosks was kicked off as part of Kuala Lumpur being named the World Book Capital 2020 by Unesco, he hoped that the initiative would gain traction beyond the event.
