Tamil Nadu Man's Scooter Library Revives Reading

Tamil Nadu Man's Scooter Library Revives Reading

There is a man named Simon in Tamil Nadu who loves reading and wants to share this love with others.

He has turned his scooter into a small library and sets it up by the roadside every evening.

He has around 1000 books, and every day he displays about 100 of them for people to read.

Anyone can read the books right there or take them home and return them later.

Simon doesn't charge any money for this service.

Many people, including children, have started reading because of his initiative.

Simon also helps young writers by publishing their books and connecting them with readers.

He hopes to start similar libraries in other places like Erode and Thanjavur with the help of local readers and writers.
