A couple in Dugri, Ludhiana, has opened a free mini library to encourage reading and reduce mobile addiction. The library, started on December 8, offers a variety of books and operates on a simple "take a book, read, and return" system. Inspired by similar initiatives in Canada, Paramjit Singh Grewal and Avinash Kaur began with 35 books from their collection, focusing on positive thinking and moral values. The library is open 24/7 and has quickly gained popularity among local residents. Community members, including a chartered accountant and a physiologist, have embraced the library, contributing books and sharing positive feedback. The couple hopes their initiative will inspire others to create similar libraries in the area.
