Bakul Foundation has been leading a Library Movement in Odisha and trying to promote reading, particularly among children..

Bakul has created Libraries in out of the box settings such as in refrigerators. It has set up 15 libraries in refrigerators in primary schools (upto class V), The fridges are associated with good things like cold drinks and ice creams, but now contain delicious food for thought.

They have also set up an open unmanned Library in a Beverages refrigerator at an Urbaan Haat, where one found such fridges commonly but instead of beverages, it has books.

They have set up a similar unmanned library, a little library house mounted on a tree trunk in a public park. These open libraries are to ensure that one can just pick up a book to read whenever one wants.

Set up a proper library in a Hall in one public park as well, and people who go to the park to hang out or to laze, can go and read.

With creative murals, creative bookshelves and books in public spaces in unusual spaces, we are trying to attract people to books. Each of the libraries has attractive murals that stir the creativity of children and make the libraries into a vibrant and inviting space to come and discover the world of books.

 Bakul has been developing the libraries in Govt schools as creative and attractive spaces as well.
