Rural libraries open exciting chapter for children
China DailyEstablished in Xingyi, Guizhou province, in 2012, Dashan Xiaoai is a children's charity dedicated to narrowing the regional gap in education and broadening the children's perspective, with various activities, such as movies, book fairs and reading clubs. This is why the library has an appealing design and a welcoming atmosphere, which helps encourage potential readers," says 32-year-old Zhou Beilei, head of the Dashan Xiaoai charity. "It has taken us five years to build and improve the libraries, which are attracting increasing numbers of readers, from kindergarten and middle school students to adult residents," Zhou says, adding that they will likely change some readers' lives and at the very least, create happy memories for the children. To celebrate the opening of the eighth library built by the Dashan Xiaoai charity, a concert is held at the library in a karst cave in Banwan village, Guizhou, on New Year's Eve.
