The HSBC Cares For Children Fund (HCCF) has donated books to the library of the Tarxien primary school.

The donation has gone towards the purchase of a large number of colourful books and classics.

"Reading ability from an early age is a sure ticket to good academic results and a successful life," said HCCF chairman Catherine Gonzi. "Difficulty with reading does not just affect a child's ability in the classroom, but also carries with it low self-esteem. This initiative we are taking in all the schools is intended to keep promoting the importance of reading."
