Kitabe Chowk was a mobile library initiative by Social Design Collaborative and The Community Library Project, organized as part of DAG’s The City as a Museum festival to bring books, storytelling and conversations into the public spaces of Khirki.

What does it mean to belong to a place? And what happens when reading a book, speaking your language, or finding a space for yourself becomes an act of freedom? Let's listen to this powerful story by our librarian Laila by the name of No Woman’s Land youtube.com/shorts/IrRf918f9…

This story is about a new girl in Mira's class. Everyone calls her different names just because she looks different. But does everyone have to be the same? Let's listen to this read-aloud and think about the question together.

In today's read-aloud, our library intern Vaishnavi will read a book called Nayi Ladki (The New Girl), written by Srividhya Venkat, illustrated by Sayan Mukherjee and published by Pratham. youtu.be/0b-alt-vwJEn

We’ll begin with our Nanhe Kadam programme for young children and over time, we’ll introduce more programmes based on the needs of the community including healthcare information, legal aid, college admission support and more. Come be a part of the beginning of something new!
