The Community Library Project (TCLP) will organize its fourth ‘Great Book Giveaway’ (GBG) fundraiser at the India Habitat Centre, New Delhi, on December 3 and 4.
Thousands of books, across genres, donated by leading publishing houses like Penguin, HarperCollins India, DK and others will be offered at nominal prices. There will also be a pop-up library featuring read-alouds, theatre, poetry and art workshops for children and adults, and live performances by rap duo 10Takk.
Founded in 2015, TCLP is a low-cost, people’s initiative that runs three free libraries in Khirki, South-X Kotla and Sikandarpur, Gurgaon with the aim of facilitating access to books for all sections of the society. It has a membership of over 7,000 and a collection of over 35,000 books.
Part of the Free Library Network
A member of the Free Library Network, which includes 103 library institutions across India, TCLP also has a digital library called ‘Duniya Sabki’ and is now looking to extend hours to all libraries through its ‘Sham Ki Library’ programme.
Writer Mridula Koshy, a TCLP trustee, said, “The organization runs free and beautiful libraries designed by prominent architects and accepts more than 35,000 titles as a way to demonstrate that free libraries should be beautiful places that welcome everyone equally.”
