Unique privately run public library
by L J Haravu 01 Jul '08

01 Jul '08

Dear List members I am delighted to bring to your attention a unique experiment: A public library started by a young and enterprising, and socially committed individual, actually a hard-core IT professional. The new library called *Just Books* is in Bangalore, India. The library has "a wide range of books for every type of reader - toddlers to teens, dabblers to bookworms under a modern ambience with effective use of technology" as the blurb that appeared in a Sunday newspaper in Bangalore says. I am also delighted to let you know that the library uses NewGenLib with RFID. I urge my friends to visit the blog page, http://shastrix.blogspot.com/2008/06/just-books-in-whitefield.html and also listen to the audio clip that is posted on the page by a visitor to Just Books. Some of you who live in Bangalore should visit this place and share your thoughts.
