Imouzzer Kandar transforms its garden into a space of knowledge… the first open library ignites a passion for reading

In a pioneering initiative embodying the spirit of culture and openness, Hassan II Garden in the city of Imouzzer Kandar witnessed the installation of a small wooden public library, featuring a collection of diverse books that visitors can borrow or exchange freely.

This step, simple in form but profound in meaning, aims to spread the culture of reading and encourage literacy in public spaces, making the garden a place for both mental relaxation and intellectual nourishment simultaneously.

The initiative affirms that reading is not an elitist activity confined behind closed walls, but can be a daily practice outdoors, accompanying moments of leisure and picnics while opening new horizons for children and youth for knowledge and critical thinking.

As specialists emphasize, reading contributes to raising awareness, refining personality, and building creative capacities among the young, serving as an essential pillar for any educational or social project seeking human advancement.

This experience could set an example for other Moroccan cities, as it can be generalized to parks and public spaces across the kingdom, transforming into a network of “street libraries” enabling everyone to easily access books and restoring reading to its position as a noble cultural and human value.
