The Sisterhood Library Project is one among those projects. The sisterhood’s concepts are implied from its initials SISTER as following: S-Social; I-Integration; S-Sharing; T-Technical Services; E-Educational; and R-Resources. The objectives of this project are to establish the cooperation with the school libraries, public libraries and communities around Rangsit University’s neighbourhood in Pathumthani province in order to support and share information resources and services. The variety of activities have been created and implemented. For the schools and school libraries, there are books, educational and sport equipment donations, children literature and storytelling program, workshops on computer and literacy skill, walk rally & tours, etc. The Library also does the professional supports on librarian-teacher training and workshop on information literacy skill and library automated system.
