Who would throw their thousands of books in trash 😨
Just like you i love libraries. small or big... Lemme tell you a secret it's my wish to own a little book exchange kinda library let's see if my wish comes true or not 😁
Loved what you wrote, Ashok, and so relevant too in the present. I agree with you that libraries are vanishing now from our culture. I remember, during my growing up years, I used to visit the British Council library, the National library and the USIS library frequently and spent hours browsing and reading books.
Came to know recently that the public library in our locality has become a skeleton of what it used to be, due to lack of funding from the government. I think we are also partly to blame for this apathetic condition.
Ashok. I loved your article, because I love book and libraries. When I walk into my local library my heart beats a little faster with the promise of finiding a book or two....or three, that catches my interest and comes home with me. It's so important that we support our local libraries in every way we can. Attending their book sales, etc.

Your article has touched a chord. Thanks.
Thank you Barun for reading and your comments. The situation is alarming. Next in line are schools.

Thank you, Sandy. I am glad this article rekindled your memories, and love of books.
A library is and has been worth preserving. We have had enough of so-called "cultural revolutions" where books were burned in thousands.
Allow sense to prevail in this century at atleast.
