Happy Holi Everyone

Reading Aloud Session!! As the mercury drops across North India, the Library seeks warmth by reading together while waiting for the winter sun. Aside from the sheer joy of exercising the imagination, #ReadingForPleasure improves literacy, social skills, and learning outcomes.

Remember our first issuer Mr Mahendra? Here you can see him returning the five books he issues for the week and borrowing five more; which is now a Sunday ritual! Mahendra Ji has been very vocal about his love for books and developed a relationship with BCL!
#FreeLibraryForAll

[Bansa Community Library @BansaLibrary]

Free Learning is one of the most powerful tools. We provide the young members a chance to learn at their own free will and explore for themselves with their curious minds the topics that intrigue them. Self-Learning Wall allows them to read & learn at their will.
#FreeLibrary

[Bansa Community Library @BansaLibrary]

A library, be it a closed area, is a limitless place; with a bundle of imagination, creativity, curiosity and wit, one finds themselves engulfed in a world of fun and discourse. Our young learners spend their time discussing, writing, playing, learning & reading.

[Student Leadership Council @BansaLibrarySLC]

This was a very important meeting as we started going to school now. There is a sharp decline in the number of members visiting the Library on weekdays. We discussed the plan on how to bring them back to the Library and to organize more activities for children members.

[Student Leadership Council @BansaLibrarySLC]

We conducted our monthly meeting to discuss how we will manage our time between school & library, since schools have reopened. We also chalked out plans to ensure that our fellow members continue to visit the library after attending school.

[Free Libraries Network - FLN @FreeLibNetwork]

FLN is born out of the isolation we experience as library practitioners who are unsupported by institutions, be it the state or private & public agencies, practicing in a paucity of resources, curriculum or solidarity.

Just 2 years old, we are now over 85 members strong.

Welcome to Twitter FLN.

[Free Libraries Network - FLN @FreeLibNetwork]

Hello world!
We are the Free Libraries Network-FLN (previously TCLN), a collective of free library orgs and practitioners who are fighting for the #RightToRead throughout India (& S. Asia) especially in deprived, under-served and historically excluded communities.

[Bansa Community Library @BansaLibrary]

We are so so PROUD to be a part of The Free Libraries Network along side @CommunityLibPro @CheruiaLibrary
@GraminLibrary @TerwaLibrary & other 80 such community libraries & organizations. This network is all about empowerment & #FreeLibraryMovement.

[Bansa Community Library @BansaLibrary]

We recently held a inclusive meet with members of Student Leadership Council about various aspects. A democratic spirit was strongly felt as they were made to understand the impact of their ideas & how it will be a library that runs on collective decisions of its young readers.

[Bansa Community Library @BansaLibrary]

Children are wizards of our magic bond family here at Bansa Community Library. In awe of celebrating Children's Day & our little wizards, we at Bansa catered to a spellbound evening packed with fun. The aim was to let their imagination run loose. Packed with games and activities.

We remember #KamlaBhasin known fondly as Kamla Di today by Reading aloud her book 'Lal Pari' with our reader members. "A father asks his daughter: Study? For my dreams to take flight, I must study. For the battles I must fight, I must study. Because I am a girl, I must study."

आनंद के लिए पढ़ना एकांत में समय बिताने का सबसे अच्छा तरीका है। आप शांति बाबा से पूछ सकते हैं जो बांसा सामुदायिक पुस्तकालय में नियमित रूप से आते रहे हैं; उनकी पसंदीदा पुस्तकें- चंपक और टिंकल कॉमिक्स!

We are starting with Legal Literacy Classes for children in collaboration with @RgnulLAC under their 'Project Kaksha'. We recognize that access to good quality school education is a rarity in rural India, which further puts children at a disadvantage in terms of Legal literacy.
