It was a lively day at the South Extension branch, from read-aloud sessions and reading fluency assessments to adult members preparing for exams, creative art activities, book circulation and more!

All these programs are possible because of our amazing and supportive librarians.

On today's World Mental Health Day, Simpy will read aloud a book titled "Bhaiya ki Muskaan Kisne Udaayi?" a story that helps us understand depression. She will also talk about what depression feels like and who we can reach out to if we ever feel the way Bhaiya does.

We are running a campaign for our members to receive more books from our supporter, Pratham. Go and donate to our members so that we can share more stories with them, and they can take home more stories to share with their siblings.

Your support makes this campaign successful.

Katyayani and Pranav agree that reading and access to free libraries are very important. Access to knowledge and a community space can change lives, providing not just information but a sense of belonging and support.

Why Free Libraries Matter
Nagina & Zainab say “Access to knowledge should never be a privilege. For many library memberships are affordable but not for everyone. Free libraries create equal opportunities, opening doors to books, ideas, and growth for all.”
