BOOK SHARING PROGRAM

Dear All,
For the New Year, I would like to propose new simple program for tourists visiting Bagan. At Kuthodaw Library in New Bagan there will be small bookshelf where tourists can leave some books and takes books at ZERO COST. The idea is simple: give one and take one (or you can give two and take one; the number you give or take is up to you!). I hope this service will be useful for all travelers who love reading and sharing books with other readers.

So, when you are in Bagan, please visit us at the
KUTHODAW LIBRARY
The library is located on the main road in New Bagan
(near the Betelnut Hotel)

The aim of Kuthodaw Library is to encourage reading among the youth living in the Bagan area by providing free reading material (books and magazines) in Burmese, English and other languages.

If you have some great ideas for helping the children of Bagan, or are interested in teaching short English classes, or doing anything else to help the community, please contact me:

Email: wthuya@gmail.com

Opening hour : 06h00-12h30 & 15h30-18h30
We closed on SUNDAY and MONDAY.

Libaray's Map and some update news


Dear All,
This is just brief information for 2008, we made one semester/conference and some donation to local small school with the help of Don and His friends from Bangkok. We cannot do big event and help for the children but we are trying to keep running the library for long term condition.

For next year rent of the building(2009/2010), Mrs. Antoinette Duncan take care about this .This is the major portion of the budget we spend in library project every year , if we already have money for the renting charges of building we can easily take care about staff and buying books etc.
