Lakmahal Community Library
Located in an old family home, Lakmahal, whose inhabitants shared a love of literature, the Lakmahal Community Library (LCL) is a space to encourage interest in the literary arts and encourage people to engage with the joy of reading. With a collection of over 1800 books spanning several genres, LCL wants to encourage people to expand their reading horizons through access to a wide variety of books.
LCL hopes not only to encourage people to engage with others’ works but to participate and create their own – to inspire creativity through community interaction and practice. Through providing a space for people to meet and discuss, LCL aims to create a community around literature.
Collection includes: Fiction (sci-fi, thriller, romance, crime, poetry, graphic novels, historical fiction, young adult etc.) and non-fiction (memoirs, biographies, history, etc.)
