Activities The Library Programme Once children have been taught how to read, it is crucial to sustain their interest by cultivating a reading habit. Children in slum communities or rural areas do not have access to books or libraries. Pratham addresses this need by creating libraries within schools and the community with carefully chosen engaging and meaningful children’s books that open up children’s minds and with a librarian who motivates children to build a reading habit though essay writing, reading competitions, story telling etc. Libraries are equipped with books in English and regional languages for varying age groups of children. There are approximately 4 books for every child who is a library member. We also have Mobile Libraries where the librarian goes door-to-door with books and motivates children to read. Pratham has established an extensive network of more than 2400 libraries across the country with a membership of 425,497 children. |
