我们的简介

“长颈鹿图书馆”是一间以家庭教育及个人成长为核心的幼儿与小学生的图书馆。在这里，小朋友必须由父母或监护人的陪同下阅读，以达致我们的目标——改造社区的文化土壤，为儿童与家长开启知识及思考的空间。

我们创办图书馆的宗旨乃是为了促进健康的阅读风气，鼓励互动性的亲子共读，并且营造优质的社区文化。这乃是一项以教育为本的长期性服务的社会工程。

我们每个月会举办一次的说书会。在每一次的说书会里，我们都会邀请一名资深的说书老师或是有经验说故事的妈妈，以不同的主题来为我们的孩子说故事。说书会除了有故事分享之外，也会有简单的手工互动环节。这可让家长与小孩一同享受亲子互动的其亲密与美好。

在“长颈鹿图书馆”里，我们有中、英、巫三种语言的书籍。另外我们还有深受大人小孩喜爱的绘本故事。它的故事即简短又精彩，而且作者常用深入浅出的手法来绘说故事，使得每当家长为孩子们说故事时，孩子们不仅能聆听精彩的故事，并且可领悟出作者所要带出的（深層）道理。

我们深信，在不久的将来，透过这小小的空间能够孕育出一群有素质且有内涵的小孩！不一样的小孩！

"Little Giraffe Book Club” is a family education and personal development orientated library for kindergarteners and primary schoolchildren. Children must be accompanied by a parent or guardian in order to achieve our goal of bringing change to society by encouraging critical thinking and the pursuit of knowledge among children and parents.

This library was founded in order to implant the healthy habit of reading, to encourage parents and children to spend time together reading as well as establishing good social culture. Hence this education-based project is a long term social project with emphasis on community service.

We will hold a story-telling session once every month where we will invite qualified and experienced storytellers. These storytellers will share stories with different themes. There will also be handicraft sessions where parents can join their children in making various artworks, hence improving ties between parents and children.

The library will be stocked with Chinese, English and Malay books, in addition to the well loved picture books. The picture books’ storylines are simple yet splendid, and the authors use brilliant illustrations to tell their stories. Every time parents tell these stories to their children, the children not only listen to wonderful stories, they will also be able to receive valuable lessons on life.
We firmly believe in the near future, we will be able to use this library to build up children of excellent character.
