Project Jordan is a website dedicated to raising awareness and support for Reading for All: Books and More. This is the only public lending library in the country and it functions as a non-profit, NGO, that is sanctioned by the Jordanian Ministry of Culture. We strive to connect the work in Jordan to people who are interested in supporting that work.
