Community projects such as pantries have recently been developing all over the country, and it seems youth organization Lahat ng Bata (LNB) has taken a page out of that book.

A second community library was opened in Baseco Compound, Manila by the LNB on Sunday, Oct. 24.

LNB is a youth organization that was founded in 2019 which organizes events for the youth of Manila.

The project was made in collaboration with Vector Lamps and the Baseco Community Pantry.

The organization has also established several community libraries all over Manila.

They opened multiple “Aklatan sa Barberya” branches, one in the Mamu Salon along Singalong street in Malate, Manila, and one in Ronnie’s Barbershop along Zapanta street in Manila.

Similarly in April, writer Lorna Zaragosa opened her own community library dubbed “The Happy LibLarry” in Quezon City.
