The Library Hub is a program by the Department of Education aiming to address the lack of public libraries across the countries by setting up the eponymous library hubs. The hubs operate warehouse style, compared to the traditional public library setup--instead of books being individually placed on shelves, they are stored in plastic bins for storage. These bins would then be checked out and brought by teachers and administrators of public schools to their respective public schools, to be returned after twenty-five days.
