Pratham Mysore

Library Programme

Pratham Mysore launched its Library programme in selected schools of the city in order to sustain a reading interest in children who have been taught how to read. Inspired by the encouragement received through its remedial education, Pratham Mysore has also introduced mobile libraries to provide access to books for children in slums and under privileged areas of the city.

Mobile libraries have the following salient features:

• Librarians are trained to handle and cater to 50 children in their neighbourhood.
• They will visit homes of children and create an interest in reading.
• They will organise weekend story reading sessions.
• The librarian will carry books from the resource centre to their homes so that the children will have easy access.
