The town of V\u0103leni in Bra\u015fov County will open a mobile library soon. The initiative belongs to the local parish priest, Father Claudiu Popa.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The priest wanted to \u200b\u200bhelp children he pastors by turning a bus into a mobile library, calling it a bibliobus.<\/p>\n

\u201cOne day, I realized that I had many books, both from my library and from donations, which I wanted to capitalize on by exhibiting them in a parish hall. But it had a different destination, and I had to find another space for them. That\u2019s how I came up with the idea of a bibliobus,\u201d the priest explained<\/a>.<\/p>\n

He found the bus in Brasov with the help of benevolent people. \u201cThe cost of the bus was covered in part by my own revenues, but also by sponsorships. As a result, it has already arrived in our village, faster than we intended, which makes us very happy.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWe intend to make small changes to the interior, such as: creating shelves, cabinets for storing teaching materials, a pleasant environment by facilitating heating, lighting and painting or decorations,\u201d the priest noted.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn this project, small activities will be carried out to support and strengthen the child\u2019s personality and the development of multiple intelligences through reading hours, free discussions, creation of handicrafts – bracelets, event-specific decorations – logical-mathematical games, puzzles and others.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWe want to support the socialization of children through acceptance, kindness, respect, trust and the removal of temptations from the virtual space – to sit too long in front of phones, televisions or computers,\u201d Father Claudiu Popa said.<\/p>\n

The bus is 12 meters long and needs to be refurbished.<\/p>\n
