The gift of reading

The Revolving Library hopes to bring the joy of reading to underprivileged children all over the country.

The Revolving Library aims to introduce underprivileged children to the wonderful world of books.

THEY call themselves the Revolvers. On weekends – and sometimes weekdays, too – these volunteers visit orphanages and children’s homes to deliver books and set up reading corners and make-shift libraries. They also conduct reading activities for the children. Every few months, the books are collected from the homes and replaced with a fresh batch so that the children get to read new books. The books move from home to home, hence the name of the unique project: The Revolving Library.
