Salfeet Municipality opens “sidewalk libraries” in the streets of Salfeet

…….

The mayor of Salfeet, Abd Al-Kareem Zubaidi has opened “sidewalk libraries” in the streets of the city of Salfit, as an effort by the municipality to spread reading, and as an initiative to provide books within everyone’s reach, and to enhance the culture of giving, knowledge exchange, and community outreach.

Zubaidi said that the opening of the “sidewalk Library” in the streets of the city of Salfeet is in line with the orientation of the Salfeet Municipality and Salfeet Municipality Public Library in promoting literature and the arts and providing various forms of sources of knowledge, both traditional and advanced, and presenting them to the public and researchers.

Zubaidi stressed that this idea came from the belief that culture is not limited to a specific group or a specific geographical area, and based on the role played by the municipal library in encouraging reading and raising the cultural level of all members of society wherever they are existed.

The sidewalk library includes book shelves that Salfeet Public Library team works to supply daily with a variety of books for adults, in addition to books for children. It also includes various types of books, historical, scientific, novels, stories, children’s books, and others, in addition to receiving a variety of books from library pioneers.
