Reading well is one of the great pleasures that solitude can afford you, said the great critic Harold Bloom. In May this year, the NCPA teamed up with the global non-profit organisation of The Little Free Library to create a community space for book lovers across the city. This weekend, the community will come together for a book-exchange and reading session that will also feature the Symphony Orchestra of India (SOI) string quartet live in performance.
“The initiative began as an effort to open up the campus to the reading community in the city,” Aishwarya Bodke, spokesperson and one of the organisers for the weekend session shares. The event will be open to adults and young readers above the age of six years, allowing them to bring a book to exchange with a book at The Little Free Library.
