This is the newest and one of the most exciting areas of growth for Bookworm. Its aim is to take books and the mobile library out to the children of some of the poorest socio-economic groups in Goa. These are children that have no access to books and no opportunity for creative work. Multiple sites are being identified in Panjim and its surrounding areas where this Bookworm project can be of use.

Bookworm is forging new ground, not only in the sense of literacy but also in the concepts of library and the lending of books, by developing a way of storytelling, drawing and language to open the world of books up to this group.

One of the most exciting parts of this project is that is being planned, developed and executed by some of Bookworm’s own young people who now want to give something back to society, within the city in which they live and work.
