Largest bookstore to dock in Subic this March

SUBIC Bay Freeport: The biggest floating library/bookstore MV Logos Hope will dock here on March 15 up to April 8 in an effort to spread knowledge.

Twice as big as the former MV Doulos, MV Logos Hope offers an expanded selection of 5,000 titles from a range of subjects which includes science, sports and hobbies and children’s book.

Known as the largest among the floating libraries of the German-based organization Good Book for All (GBA), M.V. Logos Hope will also produce an on-board interactive program dubbed as the Greatest Treasure, an hour-long imaginary voyage with an eccentric pirate crew, games, puppet show, and a Christ-centered message of hope for the children.

“Books are a more reliable resource for research. They enhance our comprehension skills and highly develop our sensitivity and imagery,” said MV Logos Hope Project Manager Steven Kregel, “we are looking forward to meet the children of Olongapo and Subic Bay to show them what we have for fun and learning.”

Logos Hope is now the only operational vessel as the older ships were both decommissioned in recent years. The ship is manned by crew and staff that are non- salaried volunteers representing 45 different nationalities. So far, about 2,518,000 visitors have been on board Logos Hope from 65 different countries and territories and 42 ports of call it made since it was launched into service in 2009.
