CRDA’s Resource Center - Culture of Reading |

Promote the Culture of reading
The Resource Center takes this opportunity to invite the NGO community and
every one involved in the development sector to promote the culture of
reading in the society. As you all know there are various development
programs that aim at reducing poverty; we have PRSP, MDG and many other
acronyms to fight poverty in Ethiopia and there is a tendency of relating
poverty solely to natural causes.
Poverty is an expression of a sum total of a society’s cultural, natural,
historical and traditional beliefs, heritages and ways of living. One of
the causes and at the same time consequences of poverty is ignorance and
lack of education. But in many underdeveloped countries an additional
drawback is poor culture of reading and weak information and communication
system.
The CRDA Resource Center is now committed to nurturing this habit and to
enhance people’s and organization's interest in motivating them to:
promote and establish libraries, resource centers, and other
information services.
strengthen existing libraries.
value and promote the culture of reading
donate books to libraries.
inherit their children the habit of reading and of going to libraries.
In this connection, please
forward your comments, ideas and experiences to us on this regard and
to see as to how we can work together to promote the cause.
