Education in India

4% of our children never start school.

58% don’t complete primary schools.

Only 10% children go to college.

Libraries allow children to ask questions about the world and find the answers. And the wonderful thing is that once a child learns to use a library, the doors to learning are always open.

–Laura Bush

OLPV play a vital rolein community development

OLPV is a revolutionary notion, and when people don’t have free access to books, then communities are like radios without batteries. You cut people off from essential sources of information — mythical, practical, linguistic, political — and you break them.

“When a library is open, no matter its size or shape, democracy is open, too.”
