During a tour of the library in May 2016, Mr Tanoto felt that the children&#8217;s section could be better stocked to meet the patrons&#8217; demands. He later made a donation of 200,000 books on June 1, commemorating International Children&#8217;s Day. The children and Asia Symbol volunteers spent an afternoon reading and interacting in the library.<\/p><p>At the end of the weekend when it was time to say goodbye, many children were holding on to the hands of the volunteers, refusing to let go.
