We started as a book club in 2014. Today, we're a free library with 3 branches across Delhi NCR and 14,000 members who wanted books and a place to belong. Donation link: www.thecommunitylibraryproject.org/donate-to-us/

None of this would have happened without YOU. Your belief in the “right to read” that everyone should have access to books and a welcoming place is the reason we’re still here today, creating a space that is truly inclusive.

Freedom isn't just a date on the calendar, it's a feeling we carry in our hearts, a story passed down through generations of sacrifice, courage and hope. Wishing you all a very Happy Independence Day! 🔗 youtube.com/shorts/0rqJo...
