Kitaab readers, this one's for you (and by you).
In Dallupura, East Delhi, there's a community space where more than 200 children show up regularly.
There's a silai centre for local women and a health centre too.
What's MISSING?
A place to discover books and reading.
We already have rooms. Now we need books, shelves, paint, art, the works.
Dallupura is home to over 150,000 people, mostly migrant families, and nearly half the children here aren't in school.
Even the ones who are often struggle with reading.
A free library gives the whole neighbourhood a third space, somewhere that isn't school or home, where books can travel back to people's houses and kids can seriously read.
We'll be designing it from the ground up: the layout, the shelves, the lighting, the artwork, the reading corners.
Hindi and English books across picture books, comics, novels, encyclopedias, science, history and more will be added. Computers too, so there are many ways to learn.
We've done the hard part of finding the space.
If a few hundred of you chip in, we can build it.
You know what to do.

We've also added an Amazon Wishlist to our bio, so you can ship books and supplies straight to us.
Share this as much as you can if you believe that every neighborhood in the city deserves a library that is FREE, OPEN and there for everyone who needs a place to READ.
