HistoryThe library is promoted by the Magarpatta City foundation. Mr. Satish Magar is the chief patron and the prime mover of the library. He supported that we function as an 'Open Library' and desired that it become a community effort. The current premises were granted to the library in July 2008. Soon after, we received infrastructure (including storage, seating, furniture, computers and networks, stationery, etc.) and administrative support from PMS (property management services) at Magarpatta City Residents of Magarpatta City led the task of setting up the library and necessary support systems. On the 3rd of September, 2008, at the commencement of the Ganesh Chaturthi festival, Mr. Satish Magar inaugurated the library and feted volunteers that helped make it a reality. Within 6 weeks of announcing the initiative and inviting residents at Magarpatta City to donate books and to volunteer their efforts, the library has received a collection of close to 800 books and many dedicated volunteers of all ages.
