Room to Read's school libraries are one
component of our larger Literacy Program that transforms government
primary schools into comprehensive learning environments that enable
children to develop the skills and habit of reading and become
life-long, independent readers. Room to Read establishes libraries in
all 10 of our countries by:
- Providing schools with the resources necessary to establish a child-friendly library
- Enlisting the community to co-invest to ensure long-term sustainability of that library
- Building the capacity of teachers and librarians to manage the library and conduct reading activities for students
- Providing three years of ongoing monitoring and support to schools
