Baglung club and Room to Read set up libraries at 115 community schools
BAGLUNG, May 18: Students of a community school in Baglung have been displaying enhanced learning capacity since the establishment of a library in their school. Prior to the opening of the library, the students had nowhere to go to quench their thirst for more knowledge.
A class six student of Rudre Peepal Secondary School, Sujan Bhandari says that the library has been a great help in learning about new topics. “We can read reference books as well as others that are not part of the syllabus,” he says.
