A book donation by the National Book Council to Malta Libraries

The National Book Council (NBC) has donated a large number of books to Malta Libraries, ensuring these titles will soon be available on the shelves of public libraries across Malta and Gozo.

The donation includes a diverse range of genres, such as novels, short stories, poetry, drama, literary nonfiction, translations, research works, and books for children and young adults. Among the titles are winners and shortlisted works from the 2025 National Book Prize and Terramaxka Prize, as well as other notable publications from Maltese publishers.

The books were formally presented by Mark Camilleri, Executive Chairperson of the NBC, to Doreen Borg Zammit, Deputy Librarian at Malta Libraries.

These donations ensure that public libraries are equipped with the latest publications from Maltese publishers and help keep the Public Lending Rights (PLR) scheme up to date, ensuring that copyright holders receive payments for the most recently added books.
