Geetha Nair, the Public Relations Officer for Big Bad Wolf Sdn Bhd, highlighted the initiative's goal to provide affordable books, with prices starting as low as RM3, to encourage the public to embrace a reading culture amidst the dominance of electronic devices and social media.

Nair emphasized the importance of reading for intellectual development and creativity, expressing the desire for everyone to have access to at least one book.
