Tours

Visits to LPP-network libraries provide a first-hand look at LPP’s impact on young children, families, and communities and often take place in locations that participants would not otherwise be likely to visit. Participants get a deeper understanding of the community through conversations (translation provided) with community leaders, parents and library managers. The highlight of the visit is sitting down to read with the children who are eager to show and read from their favorite books. Comfortable, secure transportation is provided.

This visit is an experience you don’t want to miss!
