Our Journey
Phase 1: Pilot (2021)
Phase 1: Pilot (2021)
Post COVID, we felt the need for a free community library space so that children have access to books even outside the school premises. So we ran a small pilot project, where we set up a free library for 2 months. In this short period, over 65 members were enrolled and over 2600+ books were borrowed.
Phase 2 (December 2022 onwards)
Due to success of our pilot project, we set up a free community library, which is open on all 7 days of the week, even amidst heavy snowfall. In just three months, the place witnessed a footfall close to 1,000.
Phase 2 (December 2022 onwards)
Phase 3 (September 2023 onwards)
Phase 3 (September 2023 onwards)
We moved the library to a bigger space, with separate rooms for children and adult readers. In six months, over 10,000 books were read in this space! What’s more, 45 children read 100 books each and 20 children read within six months of inaugurating this space.
