The library has created the opportunity to culture a particular book among the reader-folk through this program. On the one hand, this initiative has made reviewer (who is supposed to review the whole book orally and with presentation to the audience) of the book interested in reading the resources; on the other hand, reader community (in this case, the audience) is being able to understand the messages of that particular book without even reading it.
