Room to Read Project- Libraries:



Location

We have yet to determine the specific locations for each library. Keep checking back for more information!

What Our Libraries Will Do

Our contribution translates directly into the necessary components of a local library and provides support for its first three years. This includes: donation and transportation of books suitable for children ages 3 to 16, assistance with the creation of a child-friendly learning environment, posters and educational games, teacher training, ongoing donations in subsequent years and monitoring. It is amazing to see the smile of a child who has access to a new colorful book for the first time. Your generosity will provide thousands of children with knowledge, inspiration, and the compelling opportunity to learn.

Expect the Following

Room to Read has established guidelines to guarantee that the library benefits the community, including:

Good Selection
: Communities are selected based on dependability and need, and the challenge grant structure of donation ensures a real partnership with the community.

Book Screening
: Books in the library are pre-screened for cultural appropriateness.

Multi-Lingual
: The library will include English and local language books as possible.

Monitoring and Evaluation
: Room to Read provides ongoing support and works with libraries to ensure their continued use.
