Approved

Session Description

Pratham Books StoryWeaver is a repository of high quality, openly licensed multilingual storybooks for children sourced from global publishers and communities. It's India's first DPG for early reading.

Every book is freely available in multiple formats, can be read online, translated into any language, repurposed and, keeping in mind the digital divide, can also be read offline, downloaded, printed, so that no child is left behind.

It currently hosts more than 66K storybooks in 370+ languages, making it one of the largest repositories of storybooks in the world.

StoryWeaver's code was also made open for community to use, adapt and share.
