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.

If you look at this picture closely, you’ll see more than just a child writing on a board. In our Bansa Library campus, learning flows freely. Today, a young member stood on a chair to reach the board, wrote the Word of the Day, and began explaining it to her friends, contd. 👇

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.

A library is never just about books. For many children, it’s the joy of play that first brings them through our doors. The colorful games, the fun activities, the shared laughter, these become their entry point.

Today, one of our youngest members picked up a book and read aloud to everyone, simply because she had seen the older members do it before. This is what makes community libraries magical: they are living spaces where children observe, absorb, and pass on inspiration to each other.

The reading room at Bansa Library is alive with quiet focus and curiosity. Each member is in their own element, one is deep into a novel, another is making notes from a reference book, someone else is exploring educational content on a digital device, and another is simply browsing the shelves.
