Naga Village Library Thrives on Trust

Naga Village Library Thrives on Trust

In a village called Kigwema in Nagaland, there's a special library where people can take, share, and return books without any rules or locks.

Two brothers started this library in 2021 to encourage reading and trust among the villagers.

Now, it has over 600 books, and everyone in the village, from kids to elders, can enjoy them.

The library shows that learning can happen outside of schools and that trust is important for sharing knowledge.

Other nearby villages are also starting similar libraries, making the region more focused on reading and learning.
