Abstract

Nakhon Phanom's 20-year development goal (2023-2042) includes a social development plan to transform the province into a learning city and a key area for driving area-based education management to reduce educational inequality. This initiative aims to address the issue of out-of-school children and youth, striving to achieve “Thailand Zero Dropout”. The objective is to develop a model for identifying, caring for, and assisting out-of-school children and youth at the sub-district level, creating flexible learning opportunities and reintegrating them into the education system. One of the crucial factors in area-based education management to reduce educational inequality is the availability of resources. Learning resources are essential for this endeavor., The H.M. Queen Sirikit 60th Birthday Commemoration National Library, Nakhon Phanom, serves as a vital learning resource for Nakhon Phanom and its neighboring areas. This article highlights the role of the National Library, Nakhon Phanom branch, in supporting the province's vision of becoming a learning city and fostering lifelong learning among its human resources.
