Ningbo in East China's Zhejiang province has established book donation sites in 120 residential communities across the city as of Sept 11.

The donated books will be sent to schools in Liangshan Yi autonomous prefecture in Southwest China's Sichuan province after being sorted and disinfected.

The books should be gently used. Books that are damaged, incomplete, or pirated are not accepted.

Residents can either go to the donation sites or send books directly to Ningbo Evening News.

In April, Ningbo was paired with Liangshan under the east-west poverty relief program by the central government, which sees more prosperous provinces and municipalities in East China lend support to underdeveloped regions in the country.

Ningbo has been assigned to lend support to 11 counties in Liangshan. It plans to implement 180 projects this year to help the underdeveloped prefecture achieve economic growth, local authorities said.

Located in southwest Sichuan province, Liangshan is the largest inhabited area of the Yi ethnic group in China.
