Bombay Walks: Mcubed Library

Do you excitedly go Mmm... over books? Then, do visit Mcubed Library - a little gem on the very quiet D'Monte Park Road. At the moment, their collection caters largely to children. However, a section for adults is already in the pipeline. In case you wish to donate books or enroll yourself/someone or have time to volunteer at Mcubed, here's where you need to go:

Mcubed Library
(Maharashtra Mitra Mandal)
Princess Building, D'Monte Park Road, Next to Bandra Gymkhana
Bandra West, Mumbai, India - 400050.

This library is refreshing, in every space: magazine, blogs, newspapers… but it THE best when you see it physically. The library has brought reading to mean something in the lives of the underprivileged (but not undeserving). Books surround you, regale you, engulf you, but don't suffocate you. Visit.

@TheKeyBunch: Sharon, it really is lovely.

@Anuja: Thank you for stopping by. Your comment really made my day (and I'm not having a very good one, so it cheered me a lot). And no, you weren't rude at all. Glad you liked my blog.
