Reader Girls on Kindles and Tablets

Riecken libraries are more than shelves of books with tables and chairs – they are created to encourage visitors to explore their world through reading, class participation and training, research, games and learning from each other. Librarians and volunteer staff inspire use of the library’s resources with network-wide programs and story hours designed that instill a lifelong love of reading, and early childhood development classes.

Training workshops has been an essential element for the empowerment of women. Women discover their human potential in the different sessions in which they participate. Riecken Community Libraries involve girls and women in community participation where they might otherwise be excluded. A love of reading is a great place to start! 

By supporting Riecken Community Libraries as we continue to build access to learning and technology you can:

  • Bridge the digital divide giving girls and women access to information for life and learning
  • Deliver dynamic programming for girls and women of all ages
  • Build local leadership skills needed for facilitation of community development
  • Empower girls to participate in the enhancement of their knowledge and skills needed for improved life opportunities.

Help build the next generation of leaders in Central America!
