In this digital age,reading has become the biggest casualty.Children in urban areas,where education is largely concentrated,have become hooked to the computer and TV for satisfying their needs.The virtual has become the real!
Reading books not only strengthens the intellectual faculties but also improves communication skills.
With the rising cost of books,public and mobile libraries can spread the reading habit in children.Shared books also encourage fellow feeling in children because along with the content,the feelings and sensibilities of the readers are also shared with each other.
Fortunately in India,the print medium still dominates the reading space.It will be quite possible to popularise the works of contemporary and classic authors of children's books through mobile libraries.
