Over the past TWO YEARS we have donated 170 libraries to rural elementary schools and orphanages in 19 provinces, in over 50 cities and counties.  The most northern donation is in Changchun, the most southern is just outside of Shenzhen, the most western is in the coutry-side outside of Urmuqi city in Xinjiang, and the most eastern is in Shanghai City.

Everyone at The Library Project is blown away that libraries were donated to all of these regions in just under two short years.  Unbelievable!
