Prosledi Knjigu – building lives full of wonder
Ljig Internet Club has been very happy to support this project in the media
Launched on 11th January, Prosledi Knjigu has provided mobile libraries to six specially selected schools in the Pozega region of W. Serbia (Duskovci, Tometino Polje, Uzici, Visibaba Zaselje and Zdravcici,) and plans to expand to other schools. Targeting children with poor reading skills the libraries’ focus is on books with pictures, which are fun, short and easy to read.
Each ‘Box of 50 Wonderful Books’ has been donated by the public and the contents vetted by one of Serbia’s foremost children’s librarians. Each quarter, the boxes will move to a new school, ensuring that the books get wide usage and the children have new reading adventures.
The project is led by Melissa Djukic, a British woman now living in Tometino Polje. She said: “We will be delighted if we are able to inspire just 1 child, but we hope for much more than that.”
