The two-day Festival, which is being organised by the Ministry of Culture, will highlight iconic libraries from across the world in order to initiate a conversation on the modernisation and digitisation of libraries in India.
The festival is a part of the second phase of the ‘Azadi ka Amrit Mahotsav’ and is in line with the Prime Minister’s vision to foster the development and digitisation of libraries and cultivate a culture of reading in India.
It aims at facilitating the formulation of action-oriented policies for the development of Model Libraries in India, right down to the village and community levels.
