Dear LIS Friends, Books are treasures. People with reading passion develop their own book treasures. After their use, the books lie unused, and remain in the treasury, some times eternally, waiting for some one to read them. They will be craving for their freedom. MyLISA, Mysore heard their grumbling sound and come out with a new campaign under the banner ‘*Book Dasara 2014*’ with the support of Department of Library and Information Science, University of Mysore, Mysore. Also, Padmashree S.R. Ranganathan, has succinctly given the philosophy of library services in the form of five fundamental laws. The third law ‘*every book its reader*’, emphasis librarians to be active in helping the books to discover its readers. In this effort MyLISA tries to conform to this law. *Book Dasara 2014 is a campaign to collect the 'Used Books' from the donors and distribute to the libraries. This campaign is being held first time in Mysore. * The books so collected between September 5 and 25, 2014 will be exhibited during first week of October 2014 for selection by libraries and children. Till date we have received 600+ books and we are expecting to reach 4 digits. For modus operandi, list of dropping center, press coverage and more information about Book Dasara 2014 please visit http://mylisamysore.weebly.com/ The list of books and the book exhibition details will be made available in MyLISA Webpage very shortly. Your views, suggestions, comments, will certainly help MyLISA to achieve success in this initiative. Many thanks, Regards, Dr. Sunil M.V.
