Happy Librarians Day!

A library is more than shelves filled with books-it’s a space where curiosity grows, stories come alive, and knowledge finds its way to the right reader.

And behind it all are librarians, making every visit, every question and every discovery a little more meaningful.

Celebrating the people who bring libraries to life. Happy Librarians Day!

Meet the Author session with Vinitha

 As part of our National Reading Month celebrations, Nehru Centre Library hosted a delightful Meet the Author session with Vinitha, featuring her book The Girl Who Wouldn't Stay Within the Lines.

Through the inspiring story of Bhikaiji Cama (Madam Cama), children learned about courage, patriotism, and the spirit of questioning boundaries. The session became even more engaging as the young participants designed and coloured their own flags, sharing the significance behind each creation with the author.

The event concluded with an interactive book-signing session, leaving children with cherished memories and a renewed love for reading and history.
