Why Free Libraries Matter Nagina & Zainab say “Access to knowledge should never be a privilege. For many library memberships are affordable but not for everyone. Free libraries create equal opportunities, opening doors to books, ideas, and growth for all.”

Who's reading? Who's listening? Our readers start reading at a young age in the library. Young members take books home to read to their younger siblings, their parents, and their friends. No one is far from reading or thinking in our library and our community.

The librarians of TCLP never stop. All are welcome and Haq ki Library is daily practice; its in the warmth of their welcome when members walk in, in the stories they read out loud, in the books they recommend, in the community they hold together. And they're indefatigable.

It was a special assembly where we welcomed new Student Leaders and gave farewell to a few. Student Leaders are a part of the Leadership Development Program where members, at the age of 13, join leadership development, & it's a journey of fun, laughter, thinking, and learning!
