The Daily Yomiuri – Osaka,Japan: Library invigorates school, kids: “I read about 200 books every year,” sixth-grader Minako Shirahata told The Yomiuri Shimbun during a visit to the public school before she graduated last month. “So, since first grade, I’ve read over 1,000 books. I love reading because I can experience something I’ll never experience in real life.”
The library has been a central part of the school’s educational approach since 1995, when the student body was checking out an average of about 50 titles per year.
