Books for Asia Reaches Remote Rural Libraries-in Mongolian

Mongolian language version

On March 31, 2006, The Asia Foundation donated 1200 English language text books, on various subjects, for adults and children, to 30 rural (soum level) public libraries throughout Mongolia. This moving event gave librarians, some from remote rural areas, the opportunity to directly receive the donation on their communities’ behalf. “I want to thank The Asia Foundation for donating these books, which will be useful to a variety of people in our community and will enrich their knowledge of English and the U.S.” said Dulamsuren from Sukhbaatar Province in Mongolia. “I have been a librarian for 33 years and these are the first English-language books that our library has received, thank you!”
