cultivating a space @bansalibrary.bsky.social where love for books grow and building a lifelong relationship with them—a fight for our rights. Everyone deserves access to the world of stories and knowledge, not just a privileged few.

ever too damaged to be saved, no page too worn to be read again. Each act of repair is a small lesson in care, patience, and shared responsibility. When the same hands that read the stories also learn to mend them, those stories become a shared treasure, one that belongs to everyone.

This is more than just an activity; it’s a tender, joyful ritual, a space where learning and love meet. Every time a child helps repair a book, they are not just fixing paper and thread; they are stitching together the very fabric of our community. We call it 'The Book Hospital'.

There are no fines for lost or damaged books here, because we believe no child should ever fear a book or hesitate to touch a story. Mistakes are not punishable; they are opportunities to care, to learn, and to begin again together.

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.

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.

A story read by one becomes courage for another. A small act of curiosity turns into a ripple of confidence.
Community Libraries remind us that education isn’t confined to classrooms, it blossoms in community, in togetherness, and in the quiet power of shared spaces.

At library, something beautiful is happening. Young members, especially aged 8 and above are falling in love with science. They’re full of questions, ideas, & dreams. On their request, we organised a fun little Science Experiment Workshop. For many, it was their first time seeing science come alive.
