|
Perumkulam, Kollam |

Perumkulam,
a village near Kottarakkara, has earned the sobriquet of Books Village,
after
books and book nests have become an integral part of it.
There are
11 book nests in the village, where eager readers can explore available
books
just as they would do in a library rack.
Besides this, the activists of Bapuji Library in the
village have
arranged for writing notes for students, conveying books to them
through
autorickshaws, arranging meeting of farmers etc. In
fact, it is their untiring effort that has
resulted in the novel idea of book nests.
The aim of
the library workers is to create better awareness in the villagers
through
books.
The Chief
Minister declared the village as Books Village at a function on the
Reading Day.
