Our first project at the school was to set up the library. When we arrived here, the library was a storage room and there was no space for the kids to read their books. We wanted to create a nice room where the children could read and relax during breaks and after school.
Taking out all the garbage and useless things took us a lot of time. We cleaned the entire room and took out all of the unused furniture and trash. We also cleaned a carpet, which is now used for the reading corner.
To keep the library tidy like it is right now, we set up some rules that the kids have to follow.
The kids love the library. Every time we open it, the kids want to get new books to take them home or to the hostel. During school time, every class has a weekly library hour. During this time, each child chooses a book and reads quietly. We also read together with the children and help them understand the content of the books.
Great before and after photos of the library. Looks like hard work. Hope you can deligate some of the responsibility of keeping the place clean and well organized to the children. That is important part of learning, to maintain a clean and well kept library. Great, great job!
