We bring stories to life by inviting the real people behind them. From intimate book signings to wild interactive workshops, your kids get to meet, chat, and create with their literary heroes right here in our library.

We were so excited to host the book launch for 'Perfect The Way You Are' with author Niyatee Sharma. It was a beautiful session celebrating individuality and self-acceptance, core values we cherish at our library.

What a treat to have author Niyatee Sharma for a meet and greet! The kids loved the interactive read-aloud of 'My Nest is the Best' and got their hands busy with a super fun nest-building activity afterward.

An evening of 'Sur Taal aur Masti' with the wonderful author and music educator Shyama Panikkar. She brought her book 'The Secret Songster' to life with a heartwarming story and lots of singing.

About Meet Our Favorite Authors & Illustrators

These aren't stiff lectures where kids just sit and listen. When an author visits, we clear the floor for messy nest-building, detective puzzle-solving, or musical storytelling. It is all about breaking the barrier between the writer and the reader so your child sees books as a conversation, not just pages in a book.

We are a noisy library where kids get messy, shout 'Holi Hai!', and dive into stories. We think reading should be a wild adventure, not a quiet chore, so we bring authors in to turn every book into a real-life playground.
