Today, that small spark has grown into a community of over 25,000 books and thousands of children who visit us in Sector 50, Gurgaon. Every shelf here tells a story, not just of the authors, but of the children who first picked them up, learned to read, and eventually grew into confident young adults. Looking back at the last 15 years, I feel overwhelmed with gratitude. What started as a personal passion project to help kids fall in love with reading has become a movement. As we say, 'Log saath aate gaye aur karwaan banta gaya' (People kept joining, and the caravan kept growing). My approach has always been simple: keep learning fun, not like homework. We don't just stack books; we create environments. Whether it is our 'Bookyardigans' club, interactive storytelling sessions, or our brain gym modules, every activity is designed to spark curiosity. I have focused on maintaining small, intimate batches for our workshops because I believe every child learns at a different pace, and they deserve personal attention. What you see in these photos is the result of years of community building. We have evolved from a simple book rental library into a space for creative writing, debate clubs, and even meditative art like mosaic and mandala making. We take pride in our flexibility—offering online sessions for those who cannot visit us in Gurgaon and hosting seasonal camps that are always 'full dhamaal' (super fun). My goal remains the same today as it was in 2010: to nurture readers who are not just academically strong, but emotionally resilient and creative. ## About The Treasure Trove Library Hi, I am Arvinda. I left my engineering background to follow my heart and build this space for children. Watching them get lost in a book is what fills my day with joy, and I am so grateful to every family who joined us on this journey.
