Having served the community for nearly 3 years, Bireuen village library has succeeded in opening 5 Reading Posts. This number will keep growing as we will meet the needs of the community and the field staff. One of the urgent needs for CB in Bireuen is a permanent place for the library. Up to this time the library has been housed in a rented building which lease is up at the end of March.

We are currently looking to purchase a small property for this library. However, the high price of land and buildings in this area has made it difficult to find one that fits our budget making the search harder. Currently 100 million rupiahs has been allocated for this purchase two months ago but the searching process will need to be extended. The existence of this village library is very important because it has been the only CB village library in Aceh and has function as the center for the development for CB’s activities in the three main districts of Central Aceh.
