Manokwari Education Board launched ‘Manokwari Membaca’ last September to foster reading culture in the capital city of West Papua and to reduce the number of illiterates in the city.

During the event, all education institutions including Cinta Baca were given a chance to present their programs.

At the end of the event Manokwari regent donated 71 new books to all education institutions as a form of support from the government to make reading a habit in Manokwari.
