[LIS-Forum] Rural Library Collection

[Thapar, Amit]

Dear sir,

I have my personal 3 CD's of Encyclopedia Britannica Learning Pack. I may
send it to you in duplicate copies if u wish. you may send ur postal address
thru mail.
i feel very glad if these CDs will be used in ur library by children and it
will also give me satisfaction that i have shared something personal with
those whom i don't know and i am able to help them in some way.
Best of Luck.

Dear All,

We are in the process of setting up a School Library at kudiganur (A remote
village in Gulbarga Dist Karnataka State)
This village is having school only till 7th std. But children's attendance
at school is very poor due to poor infrastructure and other things like
shortage of staff etc.
One of my friend who was born and brought up in that village is now working
in China as Mechanical Engineer and has approached me  with the idea of
starting a library.  Using this library, we think we can provide  a better
Platform for  rural kids to gain good knowledge and build confidence to come
up in life.
Apart from books we are planning to add some indoor games to attract
children to school.
So may I request you all to suggest what kind of books we can add and some
good games as well along with supplier's name and address.
Since He is paying everything from his pocket the initial budget will be Rs.
10,000 to 15, 000/- which may go up later.

In second phase we are even thinking of donating some second hand PC with CD
drive and give some good educational CD's to them

Looking forward for your valuable suggestions

Thanks in advance
