#ReadingIsResistance #AllAr
Where books are free, possibilities are endless. This #NationalEducationDay, we celebrate every child discovering the joy of reading. Our small member Rajshree read aloud to our librarian Premjyoti whenever she doesn’t know the word, she simply said “my babu.” That’s what true learning looks like.

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.

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.”
