Reading Keeda is a step towards keeping the young ones around us bitten by the reading bug. It is a library for children between the age group of 2 to 15 years and is also for parents. Currently, they have around 2500 books in English, Marathi and Hindi. In the summers, they offer young members the chance to become library co-ordinators thus helping them handle finances from a young age.

Promoting vernacular languages by including mandatory issues of at least one regional language book throughout  the year.

A personal likeness for books and an observation that new age kids are not into the habit of reading, made paediatrician Dr Pallavi Pinge-Bapat  set up a library in home in Khamla.  The aim of this library is ideological and hence they run it on a not-for-profit model. They believe in effective parenting and that ‘a child is made in the lap of its parents.’ Hence, they have come up with a concept called ‘Parent – Kid Duo’ membership.

The long term goal of ‘Reading Keeda’ is to build and nurture a group of children, who turn out to be responsible and avid readers and who would be an asset to the community through their thoughts and actions.
