We see more female visitors than male ones. This is heartwarming considering we are located in rural India, where educating the girl child has never been a priority. By educating girl child, we move one step closer to achieving the true spirit of this day. #InternationalWomensDay

We sincerely believe in power of habit & power of learning. Once you start learning, the fire to keep learning & to keep reading only grows stronger with time. Our children visit library daily, despite the cold wave. What more reason do we need to keep doing What we are doing?

Despite severe challenges, we are confident that we can assist our students in receiving this scholarship, & be exposed to writing competitive exams. This is a new format of teaching that we have commenced & are conducting classes daily along with help from govt. school teachers.

Every child should have access to books and education, so that they can have dreams, imagination, and make their lives and position better in the future. Libraries bring people closer to books, to their dreams, and each other. #CommunityLibrary #RuralLibraryMovement

We are starting with Legal Literacy Classes for children in collaboration with @RgnulLAC under their 'Project Kaksha'. We recognize that access to good quality school education is a rarity in rural India, which further puts children at a disadvantage in terms of Legal literacy.
