"I found it! I found it!" a second grader shouted excitedly as

he rushed to Ms Liao, the librarian.
"This is what I've been looking for—a copy of Journey to
the West with pictures of Guanyin in it."
Liao checked the student's library card. "Have a good read,
my dear," she said. Seeing the boy rush back to a plastic chair in
the corner of the room, holding the book like a box of treasure,
Liao let out a broad smile.
"Children need a stable (稳定的) environment to develop reading skills," she said. The
library, covering less than 20 square metres and holding about 5,000 books, provides such an
environment for the children of migrant workers (外来务工人员) in Tongzhou, Beijing.
As a volunteer librarian, Liao helps children borrow and return books and organize the
shelves. She also enjoys chatting with the students about their favourite books.
The library is part of the Weilan Library Programme, which works to set up libraries for
migrant children. With the government's help, the project has 82 branches (分支) in different
cities, helping over 80,000 readers.
Zuo Qiao, director of the Weilan Library Programme, works hard on it. "Three rules are
important in any one of our libraries: a large number of high-quality children's books; consistent (连
贯的) opening hours; and helping kids choose books to borrow and read," he said.
About five years ago, Zuo found that many schools for migrant children had a dust-covered
room with books, shelves, desks and chairs all over the place. The room was once a library
donated (捐) by a charity (慈善) group, he added.
"Many good-hearted people donated books and set up libraries at these schools, but they
often ended up being forgotten and left in darkness in the long run," he said.
He believed that every child should have the right to go to libraries, so he and his friends
started the Weilan Library Programme.
