Q & A

What is the main mission of village libraries in the context of KKN?

The main mission is to transform village libraries into active centers for literacy and learning, beyond just storing books. The goal is to build a culture of literacy within the community.

How can KKN students be described in their role within the village libraries?

KKN students are described as agents of change. They are not merely responsible for managing books but are tasked with facilitating a culture of literacy and providing access to information for the community.

Why is it emphasized that libraries should not just store books?

Libraries are not just places to store books because their true value lies in actively promoting literacy and learning. The aim is to ensure that the library is a dynamic space where information is easily accessible and used by the community.

Which access system is better for village libraries, open or closed access?

There is no one-size-fits-all answer. KKN students should assess the conditions of the library and community. Factors like layout, security, and familiarity with libraries should guide the choice of system. A combination of both systems may also work well.
