Many parents living in Beijing Zhufang Village are migrant workers. They work for long hours and often do not have the time, energy, and resource to attend to their children’s learning and caring needs. Dream Corps work with local educators to provide a comfortable and safe place that their children could use and explore. Over the years, the library has became a hub for these children and young adults.
Volunteers help the librarian and local recruits to develop fun and interesting activities that engage the children in learning and reading. Volunteers have developed one-on-one reading workshops, story-telling contests, group homework sessions, and English learning program. Children who frequently visit the library enjoy monthly updated library books that can be taken home with registration or read in library whenever it opens. Currently, the community library has over 7,000 books and is open to public from Tuesday afternoon to Sunday. In 2009, Dream Corps volunteers experimented with a mobile library model which would allow the sharing of library resources across several schools of migrant workers’children.
