Empowering Rural Communities with Open Community Libraries across Meghalaya
The launch of “Open Community Libraries” at the CMYouthCentres across Meghalaya has been announced, with a two-day training program conducted on Library Space Management and the use of libraries for community mobilization.
A total of 20 community libraries will be established across 8 districts of Meghalaya. These libraries are expected to play a crucial role in enhancing foundational literacy among the rural community and acting as a hub for various capacity-building and empowering activities.
According to Manasaguru B, Community Engagement Lead at CMYC Meghalaya, an initiative of the Govt. of Meghalaya Smart Village Movement, designed & supported by Sauramandala Foundation and Project DEFY, training is essential for new librarians to manage the space efficiently and effectively mobilize communities through the space. It is imperative that they understand the significance of such spaces and have a strong foundation to build upon.
