DOORSTEP SERVICE FOR TEMPORARILY DISABLED – Kota Library’s unique initiative to increase the mass reader base
Kota, May 22, 2024 — The Government Divisional Public Library Kota has launched a new service specifically for those who are temporarily disabled as part of a ground-breaking initiative to celebrate National Public Library Day. This is the first service of its sort in Rajasthan and is intended to provide books directly to people in recovery from illnesses, fractures, and other similar problems.
Divisional Librarian Dr Deepak Kumar Shrivastava announced the programme, emphasising that its goal is to offer bibliotherapy—a therapeutic use of books—to reduce stress and encourage healing during periods of recuperation. "Our goal is to ensure that no one is deprived of the joy and comfort that reading can bring, especially when they are going through a difficult time," he said.
