We must encourage the interest of children to read early on

To increase children's interest in reading, PT Pembangunan Jay Ancol has launched a smart reading car.

Rika Lestari, Communication Manager of PT Pembangunan Jaya Ancol admitted she was very happy to see the child's enthusiastic read. It can be seen from several visits conducted at schools and in public places.

"We must encourage the interest of children to read early on," she expressed, Thursday (9/21). 

She explained the smart reading car has been operated since July 2016. The car itself has 200 collections of books. In a week, the car can visit two schools.

Until now, she uttered, the car has visited 60 schools, either it is SD or SMP in North Jakarta. Additionally, it also provides entertainment to children (fire victims) in Ancol area. 

"In future, we will add more smart cars, but we optimize the existing cars first," he stated.
