Our Story: How The Treasure Trove Library Came to Be
It all started in my living room with just 400 books and a handful of toys back in 2010. Today, that small dream has grown into a buzzing community, and I am grateful for every reader who joined us along the way.
At the entrance of the New Delhi World Book Fair. I always go with empty bags and a heart full of excitement for the new books I'll bring back for the library.
Success! Leaving the book fair with bags full of new treasures for our members. It's a treat for my soul to be surrounded by so many books.
It was an honor to be a part of the Festival of Libraries 2023. Celebrating libraries and their importance in our culture is a cause very close to my heart.
About Our Story: From 400 Books to a Community
What you see on these shelves isn't just inventory; it's a collection built on personal recommendations and a genuine love for reading. Whether I am at the New Delhi World Book Fair hunting for new titles or setting up a storytelling session, my goal is simple: to help your family find the exact story or game that sparks joy. When you join us, you are not just getting a membership, you are becoming part of a community that loves reading as much as you do.
From a Small Flat to a Community Hub
I’m an engineer by degree, but books have always been my real passion. In 2010, The Treasure Trove Library began in my own apartment in Gurgaon. It was a humble start with only 400 books, but as more families discovered us, the collection—and the love—just kept growing. Like they say, log saath aate gaye aur karwaan banta gaya (people kept joining, and the caravan grew).

Today, we house over 25,000 books and 2,000 toys. This isn't just about borrowing; it's about making reading accessible and fun.

Join Our Library Squad
We believe in a sharing economy. Why buy books that will just gather dust when you can borrow, enjoy, and return them for something new? We offer flexible memberships that allow you to hold a mix of books and high-quality, sanitized toys at a time.
Whether you visit us at our cozy space in Sector 50, Gurgaon, or opt for our home delivery service, I am personally committed to making sure you always have something exciting to read or play with. Drop me a message if you need help finding a book from your school reading list—I love tracking down specific titles for our members!
