We are aware that children from underprivileged families face a "million-word gap" compared to their more privileged peers. While schools provide structured environments for bridging the gap, libraries that house books and stories have the potential to foster a love for reading and enhance knowledge. This story from?Pankaj Mishra?beautifully captures the efforts of community libraries catalysing a reading revolution. Public Libraries are playing a significant role, and with?a bit of?support from all ecosystem players, they will surely thrive.
