Children's Reading Club

While pursuing the love of reading, the Resource Center established a Children's Fun Reading Club. The goal is not only to provide study and research materials to individuals but also to make reading fun for all.

Specific objectives of this formation of the Reading Club are

• To help children to develop the love and respect for books

• To help them enjoy reading

• To encourage them to see books as knowledge sharing tools

• To improve their reading culture.

• To encourage children to use the Resource Center

It is again the goal of the Center to encourage the love of reading in the whole nation. The Center has also given books to 20 schools (primaries and High schools) in order for them to develop their own libraries.

Children aged between 5-10 years are invited every last Friday of the month to utilize a range of material including books, games and videos.
