Bangkok--Mar 10--SET
Maruey Knowledge and Resource Center at The Stock Exchange of Thailand Building takes a further step in finding good reading materials for bookworms with its latest cooperative venture with DMG Books and Family Know-how. The Center will add free copies of DMG’s bestsellers to its Literature and Best Seller Corners each month.
Mr. Kittiratt Na-Ranong, SET President, revealed that the Maruey Knowledge & Resource Center at the SET and Family Know-how, which is a SET subsidiary, will join forces with DMG Books to provide copies of new literature and bestsellers distributed by DMG each month in the Literature and Best Seller Corners.
This collaboration with DMG Books will help attract more visitors to the library, which is seeing as many as 15,000 people checking in monthly due to the abundance of new and good books available for free reading”, said the President.
From the reading materials found at the SET’s library, the SET will donate copies to all educational institutions participating in the University Networking Program, both in Bangkok and upcountry, as well as public and community libraries, so that Thailand’s youth and its general public will have more chances to read good books.
Mr. Danai Chanchaochai, Managing Director of DMG Books, said that DMG is very pleased to join the SET in promoting reading at the Maruey library, which is located in a convenient, downtown spot, so that the new generation can learn to love reading more.
He said, “DMG praises the vision of SET executives in initiating quality activities for the Thai society, especially when it learnt that books on Buddhism and other important topics are available there. DMG has long emphasized the quality of its books. DMG hopes its books will inspire readers in numerous ways. DMG offers books ranging from contemporary religious-related books to books on marketing ideas and even self-improvement books.”
DMG’s Managing Director went on to add that he wants to see the initiatives taken at the SET’s Maruey library become a good role model for other organizations to play their part in improving Thai society further. Thailand must continue to grow and compete on the world stage using the wisdom of Thais. The motto contest on the 8 good habits of Thai people, which was jointly organized with the Foundation for a Clean and Transparent Thailand, is also a good start at making Thais believe more in moral values and become less self-absorbed and less materialistic.
