Providing reading material is a way to help with the spread of literacy in Afghanistan. AIL supports and runs small libraries, publishes books and magazines and receives donations of books. In 2014, AIL published one copy of its magazine “The Voice of Education”. Each issue is eagerly anticipated and read widely by many people. The magazine covers many topics from education to society, history and more.
AIL Learning Centers (LCs) continue to build their own libraries. One center in Herat Province reported the addition of 430 books at the end of the year donated by parents of students. Another center had 350 come into their collection in November and December. The new books are useful and contain information on many issues. Students and other members of the public come into the library in their free time and read for enjoyment or to answer a question or a problem. Students are learning how to research issues in books and are very thankful to the AIL staff for the provision of the library at the center. AIL even has a library started at its LC in a women’s prison!
