She puts the daily juggle best: "Library chalana aasan kaam nahi, pura juggle hai!" Books, readers and the people around them keep us going. ### My work - **Library Memberships**: We offer library visits and home delivery, with books for children, teens and adult readers. - **Reading Choices**: We stock board books, picture books, graphic novels and chapter books, including Hindi and Kannada stories. - **Stories Together**: We host author meets, storytelling, Kannada Book Club sessions, writing workshops and theatre camps. We also take storytelling and book reading to homes, apartment events and birthdays. - **Human Recommendations**: Our librarians use reading level and interests to suggest books, sometimes informed by checkout data. ## More services from Kahaani Box Kids Library - [Library Membership with Home Delivery](https://mytribe.in/kahaani.box/library-membership-with-home-delivery) · ₹500-7,000 per subscription term (estimate) ## Book To book Kahaani Box Kids Library, message mytribe on WhatsApp: [Chat on WhatsApp](https://wa.me/916360004054?text=Hi%2C%20I'm%20looking%20for%20Kids'%20Literary%20Events%20%26%20Workshops%20by%20Kahaani%20Box%20Kids%20Library.)
