In a refreshing turn for staying power in print, Pune’s community libraries are winning back children with inviting spaces and imaginative activities. Across the city, venues such as Kahanee Kids Library, Joy By Books and Unnati Books and Toys Library now offer sprawling collections, storytelling sessions and child-friendly settings where books become adventures, not chores. Parents report marked changes: children are reading fiction and space-books alike, gaining confidence and curiosity.
With 40,000+ titles and tracking recognition like “Reader of the Month”, these libraries are turning reading into a community celebration. Experts emphasise that such early engagement aligns with better language skills, empathy and lifelong learning—reminding Pune’s younger generation that the best journeys still begin with a book.
