佛光山「雲水書坊―行動圖書館」偏鄉教育成長的推手

Fo Guang Shan “Water and Cloud Mobile Library”-- the Promoter of Improving the Remote Areas' Education

「雲水書坊?行動圖書館」的構想來自佛光山星雲大師，希望透過書車將圖書送到偏遠的學校與社區，方便學生民眾借書、看書，除推廣書香社會，也藉由閱讀提升生活品質及改變生命，秉持這樣的理念，96年第一部「雲水書坊?行動圖書館」於焉誕生。為因應全臺各縣市對書車的需求，「雲水書坊?行動圖書館」不斷地發展迄今已達53輛的車群規模，服務地區更擴展到日本、菲律賓與馬來西亞等地區。為帶動閱讀風氣，佛光山更自102年起每年舉辦南臺灣規模最大的國際書展，甚至為偏鄉學校舉辦聯合畢業典禮。藉機動與便利性十足的行動圖書館，讓滿載著圖書和無限的希望，如行雲流水、如飛鳥展翅，將書香傳送到每個需要的地方。

The Fo Guang Shan Water and Cloud Mobile Library＂ is initiated by Venerable Master Hsing Yun who hoped that books can be made accessible in remote schools and communities. Venerable Master hopes that through reading, the standard of living could be improved. With this idea, the first Water and Cloud Mobile Library＂ was born in 2007. In response to demands from libraries in various cities and countries across Taiwan, the Water and Cloud Mobile Library＂ has developed a fleet of 53 vehicles, and the service area has expanded to Japan, the Philippines, and Malaysia. In order to promote a reading atmosphere, Fo Guang Shan hold the largest international book fair in southern Taiwan every year since 2013. A joint graduation ceremony is also held concurrently for remote schools. These mobiles libraries deliver books and boundless hope to wherever they are needed.
