On March 21st, the children of Luanxian Yanshan Primary School welcomed a special group of guests, and the staff from Shanghai Dandelion Child Development Center wanted to build a public library for them, so that the children here can have a better reading environment. It is understood that the library of Kenshan Primary School was funded by Guo Jingming and opened by the Dandelion Child Development Center. Huang Qian, head of the fundraising department of the center, told reporters that at present, the Dandelion Child Development Center has built 129 standard public libraries and a middle school library across the country. "The Yanshan Primary School Library is the 14th public library we have donated to build in Tangshan, and in the next two months, we will build two more public libraries in Luan County." Huang Qian told reporters.
It is understood that the Shanghai Dandelion Child Development Center is a non-governmental institution and was officially established in 2013. Du Keming, the founder of the institution, launched the Dandelion Rural Library Public Welfare Project, hoping to create a dandelion children's library for children and teachers in areas where China's high-quality reading education resources are lacking, as a carrier to promote the improvement of school education quality. At present, 129 dandelion children's rural libraries have been completed in poor counties and townships in various provinces and cities across the country. Huang Qian told reporters: "Each standard library includes 3600 books, a batch of bookshelves, tables, chairs and stationery, as well as a batch of computers, projectors and other equipment, as well as some teaching software. In addition to building libraries in schools, we will also maintain long-term contact with school teachers, regularly train teachers, improve the reading ecology of rural children, improve the teaching quality of rural schools, and train teachers' ability to guide reading. ”
At present, the Dandelion Child Development Center will continue to build public libraries in primary schools across the country. "Our conditions for choosing a school are very simple, as long as the local education system values reading and our institutions recognize it, we are willing to build a free dandelion public library for them." Huang Qian told reporters that they are currently looking for eligible primary schools, and if there is a school willing, they can contact them. "Through the process of application, visits, course learning, etc., we and the school know each other before deciding whether to build a museum. I hope that interested schools will contact us and bring more high-quality reading resources to children in rural areas. ”
