About 100 leftover children from a small county of Suqian City
in east China's Jiangsu Province were invited to the City Library
on World Book and Copyright Day, which falls on April 23. They come
from Huji Experimental Primary School of Shuyang County
and have never been to a library before.
In China, with one or both parents going out to earn money, many
children are left in their hometowns in the countryside. These
children are called "leftover children".
