A Girgaon-Chowpatty garden for senior citizens aged 60 and above has started a free library for its members. Membership to the space is also free of cost. The library comprises at least 200 books donated by people from across the city. These are currently stowed in a cupboard on the garden grounds. Visitors, walkers, exercisers can read them during their time in this garden. The logistics are being worked out still but there are plans to let people take the books home and bring them back in good faith, a report read in this paper.
When a new citizen-centric facility is offered to the public, there is always reason to cheer. More so, when it is our silver-haired set, who can benefit from initiatives. There are a number of such libraries in public spaces, so we must see the civic authorities work with citizens, shoulder to shoulder to bring new dimensions to our green spaces. We should also see that amenities are respected and maintained.
This is not just the responsibility of the managers but the people using them too.
