Library on Wheels
Static - stories (bookworms' library) in KK Nagar was established in December 2001 and today it has over 2000 members using the services in and around. During these years, we found inspiration from many – both children and adults, about books and a love of reading. Unfortunately, those are not in a position to come over to our library in KK Nagar, as just merely they are not in their close proximity. Bookworms’ has been at the receiving end of many complaints from parents that children are wasting time in watching TV soaps, and playing addictive Computer games. They figured out that a possible reason is that there is no good library in their neighourhood where focus could be diverted to reading. After breaking our heads over this issue, we struck upon an ingenious plan… We chose to transform a mini truck into an inspirational wagon, decorated with lights and fans inside, with sufficient stacking of reading materials for different age group, and drive over to various areas periodically thereby motivating them and encouraging the kids to read books. So next time you open your window and smell the fresh air coming in, there you can see, the "library on wheels" trundling down to your doorstep !
