Book Club Benefits

Psychological and Social Counselor Dr. Wafaa Abu Mousa says that the book club for young people is one of the most important cultural development projects because it provides the appropriate atmosphere for reading. She explained that the child's emergence with books helps him to grow intellectually and enrich his experiences.

She pointed out that the atmosphere of the book club is enough to make a big difference in the personality of the child, so it moves towards creative solutions and innovation, becomes receptive to intellectual differences and learns criticism, and this protects the child from the single visions that result from the child's shell on trends unknown to others.

The exchange of ideas resulting from the participation of different people, with a dialogue in the midst of this difference, provided the child with an atmosphere of good listening, concentration, opinion and the other opinion.
