A social media campaign was conducted to encourage book donations, receiving overwhelming support from both university members and external contributors, resulting in a diverse collection of over 160 books.

The library space was creatively enhanced with organized bookshelves, painted walls, motivational quotes, and live plants to create an inviting and intellectually stimulating environment. A unique borrow-after-donate system was implemented, where students could only borrow books upon donating one, with all transactions recorded to promote accountability. A dedicated quality assurance team ensured that the materials and overall setup met academic and aesthetic standards, guaranteeing sustainability and consistency.
