Dulkal, a Chennai-based non-profit that distributes books to children in rural areas through its libraries, has launched a new initiative to encourage people to donate their good reads. “The Book Fairy” drive started recently at the Tai Tamil school in Pallikarnai, where the group has kept a colourful dropbox for people to leave books meant for children. P Karthikeyan, one of the founders, says previously they would engage volunteers to collect books from people. “We currently run six libraries in schools, a majority of them located in rural Tamil Nadu; and three community libraries,” says Karthikeyan.
