The Library Project and MANN+HUMMEL Donate over 5,000 Children’s Books in China
We’re celebrating one of our largest libraries to date at The Library Project! Featuring 5,100 local language children’s books, this beautiful new library was made possible through the generous donation of MANN+HUMMEL.
The MANN+HUMMEL Library Project was donated to Ruixi Central Elementary School in Guizhou Province, China. The school has 836 elementary students who now have access to a high quality, beautiful and inspiring library.
This special donation included 4,100 Chinese language children’s books, 1,000 picture books, 12 bookshelves, 8 tables, 64 chairs and stools, 6 fun bean bags, a large mat and a globe.
The students, however, aren’t the only ones who benefitted from this library donation. The MANN+HUMMEL Library Project also included a table and chairs for the librarian.
Thank you to MANN+HUMMEL and all the employees who helped make this library a reality. Visit our website to learn more about The Library Project and our work in rural schools throughout Asia.

About The Library Project
The Library Project supports rural education across China, providing children with access to libraries, literacy programs, and teacher training. Since its inception in 2006, we have transformed the educational landscape for over a million children and teachers in more than 3,000 schools. Our commitment to creating safe, educational spaces where children can learn, grow, and explore the world is at the heart of everything we do. With a focus on measurable impact, The Library Project’s story began with a simple idea among friends, growing into a comprehensive initiative that supports rural elementary schools, orphanages, and community centers. Our dedication to improving education one book at a time has been recognized with numerous awards, including the Platinum Seal of Transparency from GuideStar, the Corporate Social Responsibility Award from AmCham, and being named a Top-Rated Nonprofit by GreatNonprofits from 2018 to 2024.
Companies can amplify their impact by partnering with The Library Project, contributing to the development of educational resources and literacy programs that transform rural communities. Individuals can support this cause through donations, directly funding libraries, children’s literacy bags, and teacher training programs to foster a love of reading and learning among children.
