The Community Library Project (TCLP) is a volunteer-driven citizen initiative with the aim of creating community libraries that can be operated and ma Read morenaged at a low cost. TCLP serves as a model for running community libraries that are self-sufficient and democratically run. In an effort to maximise reading and literacy, workshops are conducted for fluent reading, poetry reading and storytelling for kids, toddlers and adults. It started its first library in the Ramditti J R Narang Deepalaya Learning Center in New Delhi's Sheikh Sarai in January 2015, in collaboration with the NGO Deepalaya. Since then, it has collaborated with Deepalaya to open two more libraries in Sanjay Colony and Gole Kuan, New Delhi, and one in collaboration with Agrasar, in Sikanderpur, Gurgaon.

The Reading Project
To encourage reading, TCLP initiated the Reading Project which intends to empower readers, especially first-generation readers enabling them to think.
This programme features adult readers reading aloud to children of different age groups which has transformed into older siblings reading to younger ones, friends reading out aloud to one another and members gathering together to read stories. To motivate reading further, the organisation also runs sub programmes namely ‘The Read Aloud Programme’, ‘Headstart to Reading’ and ‘Hindi Reading Fluency’.
