Hi all, I agree with Mr. Prafulla Chandra ,if there is no library then we should convince the area /district authority to start with one . Also I think Govt / Panchayat can start a public library for school children only . We librarians can help in establishing that , School teachers can be given training to manage the library . Local schools will have access to this library in turn. The book selection can be done by the School teachers in coordinating with us the librarians . I'm ready to help in this type of initiation if the area is identified and can convince the Panchayet leader to identify the place for storing the library books. It can be started as consortia . Combined budget from all schools, panchayet and donors will build the big library which should either be opened with membership individually or collectively as schools to raise the fund in future.

It costs Rs.12,000 to start a small library with a steel book rack, a good collection of carefully selected books (around 200) and the required stationery. There are 70+ schools in Bhongir that do not have a library of their own. How about celebrating NLW by establishing a school library. Thank you Sincerely T.V.
