SLT- Mobitel to transform decommissioned buses into libraries

SLT and Mobitel have partnered with Manusath Derana on a national level CSR project that aims to convert decommissioned SLTB buses into fully-fledged libraries. The initiative is carried out in partnership with the National Library of Sri Lanka and Sri Lanka Transport Board (SLTB). 

“As the National Telecommunication Service Provider, SLT and Mobitel recognise the importance school libraries have on improving student literacy and learning outcomes in Sri Lanka. The SLT group has been committed to supporting the educational landscape by providing quality access to reading materials through e-Learning, m-Learning platforms thus empowering thousands of students, graduates and other knowledge seekers across the country. The 25 libraries will act as learning centres, providing equal opportunities for students with accessible educational resources and inculcating the habit of reading,” SLT said in a media release.
