BOOKS INSPIRE US TO DREAM.
BOOKS GIVE US THE TOOLS
TO ACHIEVE OUR DREAMS.

Overview

In a world increasingly driven by technology, the importance of books in a student’s life remains unwavering. Books are not just sources of knowledge; they are the finest companions that nurture the mind, ignite the imagination, and shape character.

At YOUREORG, we recognize the profound impact books can have on a student’s life, and that’s why we have created a spacious and well-stocked library to offer parents and their children from low-income backgrounds a welcoming space to learn, explore, and enrich their lives together.

How does Your-E Library support students?

THINK

YOUREORG’s teachers will empower students with strategies to guide them in selecting print and digital resources, fostering the discovery of new ideas on topics important to them.

SHARE

At Your-E library, we offer students a platform to share ideas and engage with the global community, both virtually and in person.

CREATE

YOUREORG’s teachers consistently work to empower students to create knowledge as writers, storytellers, digital citizens, or in any other role that they are passionate about.

At Your-E Library, we carefully curate a selection of engaging books and resources designed to inspire and challenge students while fostering their growth as future leaders.

How does the Your-E library support teachers in enhancing their professional capabilities?

Recognizing teachers’ crucial role in shaping students’ attitudes toward reading, Your-E Library is committed to promoting a culture of reading among educators. We believe that by setting a positive example and actively engaging in reading, teachers can inspire their students to develop a love for reading.

Since 2021, Your-E Library has been dedicated to supporting the professional growth of aspiring teachers, providing them with essential resources to enhance their knowledge, pedagogical skills, and classroom management abilities.

As part of this initiative, we have carefully curated a selection of books to be gifted to novice teachers, aiming to further their professional development and enrich their teaching practice.

How does Your-E library promote community engagement?

The Your-E Library initiative was put into action to fulfill the following objectives:

HELP STUDENTS LEARN OUTSIDE OF THE CLASSROOM

Your-E library was established with the aim of optimizing students’ time outside of school hours. We offer free access to books, movies, games, and programs to empower students from less privileged backgrounds.

We aim to inspire them to broaden their perspectives, delve into new concepts, and pursue their interests.

Beyond being a traditional library, we strive to be a catalyst for personal development outside the confines of the classroom, fostering inspiration and motivation for students to realize their full potential.

WELCOME FAMILIES OF ALL BACKGROUNDS

Your-E Library is devoted to creating inviting environments and providing valuable resources for individuals from all socioeconomic backgrounds. We believe in a world where everyone must have the chance to learn something new or simply enjoy a great book or movie, all at no cost.

For families with lower incomes, Your-E Library is not just a gathering place; it’s a space where children and their parents can strengthen their bond and enjoy quality time together.

NARROW THE ACHIEVEMENT GAP

Research shows that strong parental involvement narrows the literacy gap between children of more and less educated mothers. However, it’s crucial to recognize the financial challenges related to family engagement, such as the substantial disparity in spending on enrichment activities between high-income and low-income households.

The good news is that Your-E library offers free access to collections and programs. This inclusive approach enables families to participate in valuable activities without the cost burden, fostering a more equitable and enriching environment for all.

Testimonials

While studying at YOUREORG, I started cultivating the habit of reading English books for the first time. The diverse selection of foreign books at Your-E Library, covering a wide range of genres, along with the tranquil study environment and the atmosphere of passionate learning, truly made Your-E Org feel like a second home to me. Despite my classes ending at 11:30 a.m., I chose to stay until 3 or 4 p.m. to immerse myself in more books. Most recently, I delved into “African Twilight: The Vanishing Rituals and Ceremonies of The African Continent” by Carol Beckwith & Angela Fisher, and it had a profound impact on me. – student Thuy Lien

My son always looks forward to visiting the Your-E Library to read books. On the rare occasion when his favorite book isn’t available, the teachers go above and beyond by personally driving him to the most prominent local bookstore to buy it for him. I truly appreciate this generous support. Witnessing the joy on my son’s face while he reads brings me immense pleasure and pride as a mother, knowing he’s fostering a genuine love for reading. – parent Cai Hao
