Comprehensive reading culture advocacy

“Improve your command of the English language, discover writers of yesteryears, and make new friends while at it.”
This is partly because people get books seemingly too expensive to buy and also because it encourages youth to embrace the reading culture from a young age. This underscores the value placed on making the reading culture a focal point of informed arguments, improved ideas, and the acceptance of different opinions. 

A community-driven approach

More importantly, the idea of establishing Halfpriced Bookstore transcends the half-price sales tag and embraces a community-driven approach, thus making it a two-pronged perspective where they outsource books from around the world and make donations to various institutions in Kenya. Access to books is access to new knowledge, and it leads to informed ideas. 

As such, illiteracy levels decrease, underpinning why Halfpriced Books is making strides as it takes root within Nairobi and spreads its wings across all the counties. In a country where literacy levels add up to 77.99% within a demographic starting 15 years old and above, there is so much to expect, especially when pan-African bookstores make it easy to access reading materials.

 Access to all book categories

Whether pre-owned or new, a book always retains value because the text is permanent, and the knowledge therein is eternal. Reading culture has to become hereditary, and with the efforts started by Halfpriced Books, you will witness an increase in reading cultures. Not every day you get Viola Davis’s Finding Me or Americanah by Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie at half the original price. 

Halfprice Books continues to further the access to new and old books in all categories, be it educational and instructions, comics, cookbooks, romance, and all other categories. Reading a book is therapeutic because it enhances you mentally and physically by relaxing. Everyone has a genre preference, and you will get your taste of Halfpriced Books, as the name suggests. 

Improve your command of the English language, discover writers of yesteryears, and make new friends while at it. As the community of book lovers increases, more people, especially the young ones, will embrace this crucial aspect of shared knowledge.
