The Purpose of Our Library Program

– Promote a Reading Culture:

  The library encourages children to love reading, which forms the foundation for all learning.

– Support Education Beyond the Classroom: 

  It provides students access to books and resources they might not have at home.

– Equal Access to Knowledge:

  All students, regardless of their background, can use the library free of charge.

Why It’s Important for Our Community

– Bridging the Knowledge Gap:

  In rural communities, access to books and the internet is often limited. Our library helps to close this gap.

– Keeping Children Engaged in Positive Activities:

  The library serves as a safe space for learning, creativity, and exploration.

– Supporting Language Skills:

  Reading contributes to the improvement of English, Khmer and other language abilities.

Skills and Values It Builds

– Critical Thinking: 

  Reading a variety of books encourages students to think more deeply.

– Imagination and Creativity: 

  Stories ignite new ideas and inspire creativity.

– Lifelong Learning:

  Students learn to enjoy reading for personal growth, not just for exams.

– Responsibility:

  Borrowing and returning books teaches students to care for shared resources.
