Community Digital Libraries

Community Digital Libraries

The entire worlds knowledge can now be accessed over internet or through digital infrastructure. Computers and IT being the central for the development today, there is a huge gap persisting in society as many are not in reach or having access to digital knowledge systems and learning environments. To bridge this divide,we set up Community Digital Libraries.

Goals of Community Digital Library

• To make knowledge sources and technology accessible to commons
• To promote Digital literacy and right to access in the area to bridge digital divide
• To promote community culture and sharing
• To inculcate STEAM, Scientific, creative and critical thinking

These Community Digital Libraries (CDLs) have been set up in government schools in areas to make computer resources available. We’ve integrated the computers course into the school curriculum for students. After school hours, the space is open to both students and the general public of the village, allowing them to access and use the resources for learning and improving digital literacy, STEAM through different activities.
