Vimukti mobile library
would visit each school in the surrounding 25 villages of Pothnal
for around 90 minutes every fortnight allowing children to borrow
books of their choice till the next visit. This is part of vimukti
organization initiative to promote the habit of reading among the
school children in villages. Mobile library has books in kannada,
English, story books, Grammar books, spoken English, novels etc,
which will cater to children from class 1st to 12th. We have more
than a thousand books in our mobile library VAN. Students can pick
books with a lot of pictures, fiction or academic as per their
taste. Vimukti is confident that the “mobile library will evoke a
much bigger response from the children and people” the mobile
library covers at least two schools a day and caters to at least 600
students. Initially, school teachers may have to push them to borrow
books and read them, but gradually they will develop the habit of
reading. So far there is a very positive response from the teachers
and students, as a result more than thousand children are benefiting
from this program.
