The Little Free Library
This library works on the exchange principle. Though membership is free, if anyone wants to borrow a book, they have to leave a book in the collection first. This was inspired by a concept used in the US that had the same name as this place. The library is located at the Ground Floor of Om Pure Veg Restaurant, 7th Block, Koramangala.
