In our daily lives, we hear common phrases such as, "Time goes by very quickly, we must take advantage of it," that is very true; when we have several activities to do, we feel that time is not enough. However, not all activities can be multitasking; some require our presence. One of these activities is the time we spend in line waiting for something we need. What else can we do while waiting in line to be attended to in any aspect of our interest? Well, we have a solution: connect to Kolibri and enter to the reading word.
With this dream in mind, we started a beautiful Virtual Libraries project. These libraries consist of installing a Kolibri server in places frequently visited for personal transactions, such as municipal mayors' offices and the Departmental Education offices.
ACHIEVEMENTS SO FAR
We are pleased to share with you the good news that the municipal mayor of Camasca already has a virtual library. Here is the official announcement.
"Take advantage of innovative educational opportunities in our municipality! Thanks to the solid alliance with the Shoulder to Shoulder Organization for Children and the efforts of the Municipal Mayor of Camasca, you can now access Kolibri in our facilities. With our virtual library, you will enjoy thousands of educational resources, from books to interactive games, to enrich your learning in key areas such as language and reading, mathematics, social sciences, natural sciences, and programming.
All resources are fully downloadable, so you can continue learning everywhere. We are waiting for you to explore and learn together!" You can see the original post at the following linkhttps://www.facebook.com/photo/?fbid=7278318338943895&set=a.488209627954834

Likewise, what a thrill to know that while the teacher community of Intibucá visits the Departamental facilities, they will have the opportunity to navigate into the marvelous world Kolibri, accessing to thousands of completely free and downloadable educational resources. The following pictures show the happiness of the Departamental office receiving their digital library.
Goal
We plan to install virtual libraries in as many Municipalities as possible. Everyone deserves this opportunity, and we will achieve it little by little. Stay tuned for more libraries as we add them.
As always, we express our immense gratitude to each donor for investing in Education in Honduras!
