The Dhaka Times Desk When we hear about the mobile library, we think about the huge vehicle of the World Literature Center. But today there is a story of a mobile library that is not in a car but on a horse!
When you hear about the library, you think of a silent room filled with thousands of books, or a huge car of the World Literature Center. The car that goes to the area and stops at a certain place. Where everyone reads, get lost in the land of books.
Currently, however, there has been such a change in the management of the library. Earlier readers used to go to the library to read but now the library is coming to people's doors.
It is like a mobile library under the management of Vishwa Sahitya Kendra in Bangladesh
One such mobile library is operating in the remote village of Serang, Indonesia. But not by bus or truck, now the library goes on horseback!
A man named Ridwan Sururi started such a library in the village of Banten Province, Java Island. Riding a white horse with a mobile library full of books, Ridwan Sururi runs through the entire village. Ridwan Sururi reached the village with books on a certain day of the week.
At the sound of Sururi's horse, the children of the village rush to smell the new book.
Not only young children are members of this library, but adults are also regular members of Ridwan Sururi's library. However, library members must return the books taken in the previous week to get new books. The books should be read carefully.
Ridwan Sururi said, although there was no plan, I started this library in 2015 with 100 books from a friend. Gradually the number of books is increasing with the help of various individuals and organizations.
According to the Indonesian Ministry of Education, the education rate reached 96 percent in 2013. But several provinces, including Java, still lag behind in terms of education rates. Ridwan Sururi's 'Horse Pith Library' can be an example to change such a situation and spread the light of education.
