A free book programme for readers in Malaysia
We're giving away 20,000 carefully selected books across three popular categories: humanities and arts, Malay cultural heritage, and learning methods. Requests are handled in the order they arrive.
Malaysia's culture lives in batik and songket, in the wau flown over paddy fields, in wayang kulit, pantun and the stories families pass down. Books keep that knowledge within reach of the next reader.
We've gathered titles that are easy to pick up and worth keeping, and we're offering them free of charge so cost isn't what stands between a reader and a good book.
Each category holds a range of titles. Select a shelf to see what it covers.
