How book banks spread the love for reading in students
Book is the mother of education. But in a poor country like India where many people are not able to arrange three squares of meals every day, reading seems to be a luxury. Poverty, like a curse, destroys the talent of many meritorious students. That is why government and non-government establishments taking the initiative of running a book bank in India deserve appreciation.
A Book bank is a kind of library that provides books to the students who cannot afford to buy the books. Availability of books is providing the students with a ray of hope. They are developing an interest in books and in return, this interest is enriching their knowledge.
The existence of the book bank in India is a blessing to many students and their parents. The country needs more book banks to make the future bright.
