Every child deserves a space that celebrates their curiosity. Celebrating Children’s Day with stories, laughter, and the quiet magic that unfolds when children find a space they truly belong to. Here’s a little glimpse into the joy at our Library yesterday.

At Bansa Community Library, learning often begins in the simplest of ways, three friends sitting close, eyes bright with curiosity, exploring the world of science on a shared screen. In moments like these, library becomes more than just a space filled with books, it becomes a window to new worlds.

As winter begins to set in, stories bring their own warmth. A young reader leads a read-aloud session at our library courtyard, her voice carrying tales that spark curiosity and comfort alike. Not long ago, books like these were out of reach for most children here in Bansa.

Welcome to the Book Hospital!
Every few weeks, something quietly magical unfolds on the floor of our library, not through new books arriving, but through old ones being cared for. Librarians and young members sit together, tape and glue in hand, gently mending torn pages and healing broken spines.

Our librarian Prachi sits with young readers, guiding them as they write book reports, a beautiful exercise where every child reflects on what they’ve read, understood, and felt after finishing a book. It’s not just about reading, but about learning to think, express their own voice through stories.

At Bansa Library, books brought us together, but it’s the small joys that keep us close. Our Amul protein lassi party was full of chatter, laughter, and togetherness. For us, the library isn’t just a place to read, it’s a place where everyone belongs.
