Seema and her colleagues started a website\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/schoolkutti.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">schoolkutti.com<\/a>, which was started to provide maximum resources for the children. It acts as a knowledge centre for the children. The library is equipped with books of Enid Blyton, Roald Dahl, Agatha Christie etc, who dominated Seema\u2019s list of favourite authors while growing up.<\/p>\n<p>The library will also serve as an activity centre for the children. Seema plans to conduct various literary events for the children during weekends, which are beneficial to children. The library is also equipped with a reading space, where the children can come and have a peaceful reading. Library members will enjoy special privileges, especially during some events. Anyone who donates books to the library will receive concessions in membership.<strong> The library is currently being run at Seema\u2019s house in Vellayambalam<\/strong>. Plans are there to expand the books collection and move to the library to a bigger space.<\/p>\n<p>For further details about the library, go to\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/schoolkutti.com\/library\/\" target=\"_blank\">http:\/\/schoolkutti.com\/<wbr \/>library\/<\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>Contact Number:\u00a09847320281<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In an age where libraries and books are disappearing from our sight, IT professional Seema Richard and her friends have started a library exclusively for children.
