摘要：Community reading rooms (CRRs) are an extension of Eritrea’s Public Library Service into rural areas for adult literacy programs. At its beginning in 1993, the CRR project was closely linked to the adult literacy programme of the Department of Adult Education of Eritrea. The CRRs were intended primarily to serve adult literacy learners and newly literate adults. However, because the CRRs had to be housed at first in existing school buildings, farmers, schoolchildren have become the most active and most numerous users. The villages have claimed the CRRs as an important part of community life.
