It has indeed been my pleasure to be associated with LOAB over the last nearly a decade. I had the privilege of visiting the library and was indeed amazed at the cozy and safe space that the library is, and the engagement that the kids had.

The name Let’s Open a Book caught my attention on social media. When I found out that the NGO was trying to get the Spitian children to read books, their raison-d’être really resonated with me and I decided to support the endeavor with whatever I could. Kudos to the hard work you have put in over these years!

Let’s Open a Book has been doing a truly commendable job of bringing books to children in remote village of Himachal Pradesh. Their efforts in Spiti have been praiseworthy and I look forward to seeing the impact they create through their Manali library.

Let’s Open a Book is a beautiful reminder of how small efforts can spark big change. Through their libraries in Spiti and Manali, they’ve opened doors to imagination, curiosity, and learning for so many children. It’s more than an initiative—it’s a quiet, powerful revolution.

What Ruchi and her team at Let’s Open Book began was a simple yet powerful idea—to get children to read in the remotest areas like Spiti, by setting up libraries. Kudos to their passion, grit, and belief. Today, these children have read over 10,000 + books. But it’s not just about the books—Let’s Open Book libraries have become hallowed spaces for these kids, offering hope, sparking imagination, providing safety, and nurturing a love for humankind.
Thank you, Ruchi and the entire LOAB team, for being an inspiration and for working at the very core of building a true nation.
