Children's Library
A library is not just a place that houses books, it is a place where children learn to explore and imagine a world beyond their own. It is a space where the young readers interact with each other and Share stories. The value of a children’s library extends well beyond merely teaching a child literacy skills. Spending time browsing through stacks of books keeps the young minds active and gives children the chance to discover new books and new authors. Most children, who have access to libraries read more, have better language skills.
Children from the surrounding communities come to CLT library and it is also run by the children!
