The participants can donate to the program in 2 ways including directly giving books at the place receiving number; or donating money through a bank account. The number of donated books will be provided to the free reading stations/libraries which are going to be implemented at the appropriate parks and spaces in the city area, while the donated money will be used for greening the city, helping Hue to be greener – cleaner – brighter”.
