The Library
Kitab-e-Dill

Tucked away in the narrow lanes of Khirkee is a magical place full of books, where everyone is welcome.

 

After one year I found out about this library, where no one expects anything from you. And you can read for free.



Kitab-e-Dill’ is a love letter to this special space, and an exploration of how books and reading can help create a sense of belonging for a community that has experienced displacement. Join Sufia on a tour of the library, as she meets the people who run it, the many different readers who use it, and why it makes her feel at home.
