The first collections of donated books in Nanning were transported to earthquake-stricken areas on June 19. These books are mainly on literature and education and they were all listed as the best reading materials for kids published after 2007, including Chinese and foreign literature master pieces, academic reference books for primary and middle school students, reading materials on popular sciences and pictorials.

Nanning actively responded to the call for donating best reading materials for kids in the earthquake-hit areas and collected books and reading materials donated by over 50 institutions and individuals in a short period of time.
