Community Library
Pahal Ek Nayi Soch has established a Community Library with a collection of storybooks, novels, competition-related books, textbooks from government schools and related workbooks, various teaching-learning materials on foundational literacy and numeracy, and science experiment kits. The library is adorned with numerous chart papers and paintings. It has received support from many individual donors, patrons, and the mother organization.
The Jinhara Community Library is open to all children, whether they are enrolled at the center or not. Additionally, it is accessible to people of all age groups in the community, making it unique and serving as an effective way to create a teaching-learning space in the rural setup of Laxmipur, Jamui, Bihar. This is especially impactful as resources for the Mushahar Community, SC, and ST are very limited in this area.
