English Books: Lawn Chairs and Humanity Association

english books: Canada has people coming from everywhere, according to Toronto Star. I thought why should we just keep English books We should keep all languages because people are coming from different countries, he said. With a table full of classic novels from around the world, lawn chairs arranged around them, and an area with drinks and snacks, Syed Najam's front lawn has been turned into a multicultural outdoor library. Najam is with the Love With Humanity Association, the non-profit behind the idea. He saw newcomers who couldn't go to the library because they didn't have cars and didn't really have anyone in the community to socialize with. He said he thought of the benefits of having an outdoor library in his community when he started interacting with his neighbours. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
