KID: Bookworms Get More Books for Less Price

February 21, 2012 by




Last November, I was offered a gift certificate while paying for my purchases at Books for Less.  I paid 500 pesos for the gift certificate which I could redeem for 1000 pesos worth of books come February 2012.

So last Friday, the entire brood trooped to Books for Less in SM Marikina to get some new books for the little ones.  My little bookworms immediately got busy browsing books while I chose books they could select from.

Though we just bought new books, we’re going to another bookstore this weekend.  We’re  really looking forward to it as it would also be our first time to go onboard Logos Hope, the famed floating bookstore.   You may want to check it out also and tag your little ones along. 😀

Logos Hope has docked in Manila! Come visit the floating bookstore.

February 20, 2012 by




The Logos Hope has docked at Pier 15 in Manila’s South Harbor!  The Logos Hope is part of the GBA Fleet which sends out ships all over the world to “bring knowledge, help, and hope to the people of the world”.

Knowledge.  Logos Hope carries about half a million books with over 5,000 titles covering topics on science, arts, philosophy, fiction, and many others.

Help.  Being more than just a ship with thousands of books, the Logos Hope also bring aid and relief to communities that need them.  Book donations, free dental check-ups, and support for AIDS awareness education are just some of the many ways they have helped communities.

Hope.  By focusing on the needs of others rather than themselves, the volunteer crew of Logos Hope brings hope to others.  Talk to a volunteer crew and you’ll surely be inspired by his/her life story.

The Logos Hope would be in Manila only until March 13 so better schedule a trip there now.   Don’t go on Mondays though as it would be closed then.  Come from 10 am – 9:30 pm from Tuesdays to Saturdays or  1 pm  – 9:30 pm on Sundays.

Entrance tickets cost 20 pesos each which is really quite affordable.  Also, children aged 12 years old and below need not pay any entrance fee as long as they are with an adult.  Come bring your entire family to this wonderful floating book fair and help others in turn.
