The Community Library Project (TCLP) is dedicated to building a publicly owned, free library system that is accessible to everyone. It currently runs three libraries in Delhi NCR, serving around 14,000 members six days a week, and has supported several organizations in Delhi and beyond to set up inclusive community libraries. As a member organization of the Free Libraries Network (FLN), TCLP works to challenge the historical exclusion from reading and the normalization of the lack of libraries in India. TCLP functions as a learning lab, continually developing and sharing practices for running effective community libraries in diverse contexts. By demonstrating that free community libraries can thrive, TCLP aims to influence public leaders to invest in robust library systems across the country.

implementation, and growth of TCLP’s Leadership Development Department across two core
