Library

between library shelves

The library is very important to any country because it educates the community. There is a big difference between the library in Chad then Canada. In Canada, the library is bigger and you can find more than one in the city. There are workers who take care of you and help you. There are many references, a computer to facilitate searches, an organization, and it is orderly and comfortable.

For example, I used to take my son to a book reading session. There was a teacher who read stories to children she was very fun and was reading the story with suspense, and this is something you cannot find in Chad.

Public libraries in Chad are very simple. There is one in every city and contain books, only no computer or Internet. There are not many sources and you probably do not find what you are looking for due to the lack of books. But university libraries are better because they have computers in them, and they are large in size, but you have to buy the books and references, as they are not free. We are fighting for our rights as a Chadian people against corruption and I think education is one of the most important reasons for our advancement and success.
