Farel, Rezha and Garin are third grade students from Palembang, South Sumatra. Every morning they always go to Cinta Baca before school because their class doesn’t start until 1 PM.
“We don’t have a library in our school because they turned our library a classroom.” Rezha and Farel said. They love coming to Cinta Baca, where they are able to read their favorite books.
This is a common situation all over Indonesia. There are 148.361 elementary schools in Indonesia but only 30% of them have libraries. Cinta Baca opens reading posts in villages across the country to bring books into the hands of children who have limited access to books.
