Charity Book shop - Dar Al Atta'a



Previsouly enjoyed books going on sale. Paper backs selling at .500bz and hardbacks selling for 1RO each. The sales of these book will go into buying newer books for the "Maktabati" mobile library which was mentioned before here.

I had previously posted about the Children's Library here if you would like to read more about the upcoming new library.

Local Happenings: Dar Al Atta's Mobile Library "Maktabati"

Dar al Atta'a mobile library Maktabati (my library) to start touring by end November 2013. The bus is expected to start going around the capital area and its outskirts. The bus was donated by the funds generated at last years Crystal Ball held by Women's Guild Omansource 
 
The Maktabati mobile library is expecting to reach all the governates on Oman so as to develop children's interest in reading, enhance their skills, and increase their accessibility to a variety of books. making book available to all children via the Maktabati bus will allow exposure to books, and build a passion for reading within the society.
 
 
Reading shouldn't be seen as just school text books, but as a pleasure that needs to be enhanced with honing in on reading skills and variety of available books, which will be accessible to the children. 
Reading is a key to learning about our surrounding world, and impreovement to a persons intellect.
 
The Maktabati bus project reuqires a driver, a librarian, insurance and the costs associated with running the vehicle. Dar Al Atta'a and the WGO are looking for sponsorship to cover those costs. Specifically they are looking for volunteers – especially Arabic speaking volunteers – to help children with reading practice. In additon to allocating a permanent location to set up a bookshop.
