Donate to Us

We need your support and contribution in fulfilling our mission of expanding access to books and promoting thinking through reading. We are working towards sustaining and building more libraries that are free and open to all, in Delhi and beyond. This not only requires commitment from our volunteers and collaborators, but also monetary contribution to run and maintain the libraries, by recruiting staff, buying books and running our programmes.

We welcome donations in any amount, but your pledge to become an Annual Donor will free us up from fundraising so that we can do what we do best - putting books in the hands of people!

*We can accept donations from Indian nationals only
