The Tamil Nadu government launched the “Friends of Libraries” programme, through which books will be provided directly to people who are unable to access state-run libraries.
The project will benefit people who cannot access libraries, such as the disabled, the elderly, children and hospitalized patients.
Recipients must be registered with the respective library. In the initial phase of the program, 2,500 libraries including 31 district libraries will be covered.
The aim of such initiatives was to promote a knowledge-based society. State Food Minister R Sakkarapani, District Collector Dr S Visakhan and others participated.
