Our Little Libraries
Soma Natwe is currently working on setting up small libraries for children in hospitals and other children’s centres. Whether they are waiting to see a doctor, admitted for treatment, or spending time in these centres, these spaces will provide a simple shelf filled with picture books and easy chapter books in different languages.
The goal is to give children a comforting and engaging activity, helping them stay mentally active, inspired, and connected to the joy of reading. This initiative is part of our ongoing mission to promote a love of reading and ensure that children have access to books wherever they are.
