Librarypreneurs of India - LiPI

LiPI is a *Community of Librarypreneurs * from all across India.

📕The group was started around 2 years back when Covid hit the world. It was a heartfelt initiative by a fellow Librarypreneur Arvinda Madaan. The purpose was to understand the challenges each one of us faced during those tough times and be a strong support system to the community as a whole!

For alone we could shatter but together we grow!!!

📚As we joined hands - one thing led to another and today we are a strong community where we share our knowledge, resources, business trends, challenges and victories, struggles and achievements, collaborations, events and much more….

This, in turn, motivates and inspires us to keep moving, in spite of the great competition the libraries are facing with the digital content and world.

We strongly believe:

“Together we can make a difference and fulfill our common goal of

“Raising Readers-Celebrating Books”

And spread the awareness: “Library is not a luxury but one of the necessities of life!!!!”
