In our newest episode of Her Story on WomenTalk Radio, we had the absolute privilege to speak with Doan Thanh Hai, the founder of Kids Need Books, a community library in Hanoi, Vietnam! Thanh Hai was inspired by her son's interactions with the library system in New Zealand to set up Kids Need Books. She collects English-language books from English-speaking countries and ships them over to her home country, where she hopes to make such books more accessible to kids from all walks of life. In addition to that, Thanh Hai also actively seeks to get parents involved in helping their children develop reading habits from young.
