The reading community unite.

in #steemschool6 years ago (edited)

The world as we know it today has undergone tremendous changes, especially in the last two decades or so. One change has been the decline of the reading habit, as reported frequently, due to the agents of electronic communication. This may be true, but for true lovers of the written word the love affair with good books is one that will always continue. The spell cast by a good writer is difficult to snap out of. The proof, as it were, lies in the number of books being sold by the best selling writers whose works are eagerly awaited by their fans-witness Harry Potter mania among the young even in the present time and other acclaimed authors. So, the news about reading habits is not really alarming!

To contribute our own bit to the literary world, we should make our younger generation exposed to the wonderful and mind boggling world of reading. Where your best friend can be a fictional character traveling the world. You can just imagine and feel the environment around the whole story. Readers should start a library around their community and donate books where a young child can borrow a book and start their path to becoming an avid reader and look at the world differently. We need some kind of initiative and start a campaign to which would benefit the social community and upcoming generation.

Ther is a movement called Little Free Libraries, where people build little cubbies for books and put it in their yard for people to share books for free. There is a website, littlefreelibrary.org - but not everyone puts their LFL on the site map. I put things in all the time and love them.

Great here in Karachi a few people have also started a donation library where you can donate your books and people can borrow and read it.

I love reading, unfortunately, i don't have the time for it, i had time when i was younger, but now with college, work, steemit, etc... i don't have much time to actually do the deed, i normally read during the summer holidays.
Reading not only improves your brain cognitive skills but also improves your brain health, for people more predisposed to Alzheimer and dementia it's a great thing to do! that and Sudoku xD

Exactly my point its quite difficult to actually read during the day with the busy schedule but there should be some separate time kept for it.

Books and reading are so important! I'm glad to see you out here promoting the value of reading :) I have so many favorite stories, and I admit I was part of the Harry Potter mania lol those books are wonderful!

I am wondering where the library is located of where you found this picture? Looks like a fun place to visit.

It's in my city Karachi Pakistan here we used to have a great main library to read exceptional books but now few people visit it.

This is an excellent post, you really said it all, but that picture seems very interesting to me,,,thanks
