The Library

The Next Page Library has a simple goal: to get quality books to as many children and young people as possible.

Our library is located in a cosy three-storey building in Shivaji Nagar. We have a carefully-curated collection of over 2,000 books for children, young and old. All our books have been donated by well-wishers and organisations, or bought through funds donated by them.

The Next Page uses Librarika, a free Integrated Library System and all patrons can access our online catalogue and take a look at our varied collection.

We currently have books in the following genres:


Art Attack

A favourite activity amongst our patrons is Art Attack. On weekends, in groups of 12-15, children spend afternoons unleashing their creativity and exploring their identities and the world under the guidance of our Library Leaders.

Art Attack Sessions in 2021: 85
Artists in Attendance: 887

Celebrating Gandhi Jayanti through craft

Besides books, the library also serves as a centre for special activities and events for our patrons. We have regular read-aloud sessions, art and craft activities, movie nights, and science activities as well.

The activities are designed to help patrons explore ideas and topics that affect them and their community
