The Open Library Project
Book Lovers, There's A New Open Library In Mumbai That Is Free To All {And You Can Contribute Too}
Book lovers, a special library,
The Open Library Project, is now a reality in Mumbai, and it is free to one, and all. The Open Library Project has been started off by Mumbai entrepreneur, Satyajit Roy who will be running this library out of his office in Worli. The idea behind the library is simple, and rather utilitarian, in the next three months, the library will stock at least 500 books {mostly non-fiction} that can be borrowed by anyone completely free of cost.
For Satyajit, the library will aim to stock books that will create a space for entrepreneurs to have access to genres that will inspire other entrepreneurs. Find auto biographies, success stories of companies/people, and people who're out there doing well in the start-up/ business space. Though not limited to business or start-ups, the books included will be on varied topics like gardening, landscaping, surfing, and other unconventional fields that ought to be explored more.
