A Big Thank You — from Bansa, with love.

Over two beautiful days at our 4th Fundraising Book Sale, hosted by the wonderful @kunzum Books at GK II, 2,430 pre-loved books found new homes, over 600 of you walked through the doors, and together we raised ₹2,27,742 for the Women Readership Enhancement Program at Bansa Community Library.
We're still a little overwhelmed, honestly.

To everyone who came, bought, browsed, or simply told a friend, thank you. To those who donated books, who shared our posts at odd hours, who stood in line and stayed late, thank you. And to Kunzum, for opening their doors to us, again, thank you.

The funds raised will go directly into powering our Women Readership Enhancement Program, bringing more books, more sessions, and more space for the women of Bansa to read, reflect, and grow.

Missed the April sale? Don't worry, we have another one planned for the first week of July. To get updates, fill the form here: https://t.co/vd87G5PhME

Here's to a community that's growing, learning, and making a difference, one book at a time.

With team members and libraries joining in from across locations, near and far, we felt deeply connected by a common purpose: to keep building spaces of learning, care, and dignity for our communities.
This is what it looks like when a mission becomes a collective journey.

On International Literacy Day, our story found its way to the pages of Times of India. From a handful of books to a movement of readers and dreamers, we’ve grown with our community. This is not just about us, it’s about every child, every reader, and every dream in Bansa and beyond.

We believe libraries are more than just shelves of books. From young readers discovering the joy of stories to youth preparing for competitive exams and careers, spaces like Bansa Library remind us that literacy is the first step toward dignity, choice, and progress.

On International Literacy Day, the Times of India featured our model library in Bansa, Hardoi. What began as a small reading space has become a living example of how access to books and learning can open pathways to education, livelihoods, and skills for rural communities.

To truly make this place come alive, we need your support, bookshelves, furniture, books, stationery, and computers. Every contribution will help us shape this room into a welcoming home for stories, knowledge, and dreams.
