Kuthodaw Libray was open to the public at 10aug06


 

This is the old building where i rent to open library .

House Owner will clean and make it proper before we make a contract.
For the moment , we agree to rent it for 5 years and one year payment will be settled when the contract is signed.
Mr.Herve Flejo from Gulliver Travels contribute the renting charges for this first year ( one year from August 2006 ).


This is the most proper and easy accessible place for everyone .it was just at the coner of market and middle of the village, surrounded with some teashop where most of the young pass their time

In 10 August 2006, Libray was open to the public

with a lot of courage from all my friends and under the remark of ‘no objection' from local authorities’.

At opening we have no electricity yet, we have only 2 long tables a bench as library own material. We had a round 800 books (500 novels, and 300 journals & magazine) all is in Burmese. Local friends donate 2 book shelves.

I have 2 library staff; we open daily except Monday .from 09h00 to 17h00

I collect some books, journals & magazine from all possible sources.

In the first week of September, we will have electricity at library.

My idea is to have media room, computer room etc, I have enough space but not enough finance yet. I will do in coming season.
