The successful implementation of the project is intended to cultivate a passion for reading among the participants.
The Department of Libraries, Museums, and Education Networks, under the Bureau of Education, is responsible for organizing educational service activities and promoting both formal and non-formal education through community learning resources such as public libraries.
The Library Week project features engaging reading development activities that showcase the history of renowned Thai writers, poets, and translators from the past and present.
