About Creative & Academic Workshops for Kids
Why I Do What I Do
Running these workshops is honestly a dream for me. I started out just wanting to help kids love reading, and now, every session feels like a new adventure. Children keep surprising me with their ideas - kya mast curiosity hoti hai unmein (kids have such awesome curiosity). My aim is simple: make learning feel less like homework and more like play.

My Story
Hey, I’m Arvinda. Treasure Trove Library is my dream come alive - started in my flat with 400 books and a handful of toys back in 2010. Engineer by degree, but books are my real passion. Now, there’s 25,000+ books, 2,000 toys, and a buzzing community. Meeting kids, watching them get lost in stories - that’s what fills me up. Like someone said, ‘Log saath aate gaye aur karwaan banta gaya’ (People kept joining, and the caravan grew). This place is my heart, and I’m grateful every single day.
