Raden works in a library in Germany. She has a project—lending books to children in exchange for waste they collect.

Raden likes her job. Raden rides her three-wheeler(三轮车)with books at the back to the village from Mondays to Fridays. There, many children are waiting to exchange books with old cups, bags and other useless things. When she arrives, the children gather around her three-wheeler, the “Litter Library”, and the books fly out quickly. Raden collects about 100 kg of waste each week. She has more than 6,000 books to lend and plans to go to more places too.
Raden’s project is a new way to increase(增加)kids’ reading. She is happy that it will take the kids more time to read books than to play online games as a result. She thinks that it can help build a culture of reading from a young age.
The project is also a way to clean up the environment. It can help to take care of the waste to fight climate change and to protect the earth. Kevin is a reader of the “Litter Library”. He’s 11 years old. He often looks for waste lying in the village. “When there is too much waste, our environment will become dirty and it’s not healthy. That’s why I look for waste to borrow a book,” he says.
More and more people realize that it’s important for kids to read and protect the environment. That must be good news to Raden.
