Today, that small dream has grown into a buzzing community, and I am grateful for every reader who joined us along the way. ## Photos and videos - ![At the entrance of the New Delhi World Book Fair.

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). ### Why We Do What We Do 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. - **For the Kids:** We have everything from colorful picture books for toddlers to chapter series like *Dragon Masters* and *Heidi Heckelbeck* for young readers. - **For the Teens:** Our Young Adult section is constantly updated with gripping titles like *Skullduggery Pleasant* and *Almond*. - **For the Adults:** Your membership includes our adult collection, ranging from timeless classics and award-winning literature like *Tamas* to non-fiction. ### 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! ## About The Treasure Trove Library I’m Arvinda, an engineer by degree but a book lover by heart. Since 2010, I’ve been busy building a space where kids and adults can get lost in stories, starting from my own flat to now a bustling community hub in Sector 50.
