About us
Bookworm’s vision is to inspire and develop a love for reading as a way of life, nurturing humane engagement in everyone. We run five children’s libraries and activity spaces in Panjim, Saligao, Aldona, Cacra, and Chimbel which are ideal for creative and critical learning. The libraries play host to book talks, author events, and engagements with the visual arts. Since 2005, we have built communities of readers, educators, and artists through curated library experiences for children and the public. We demonstrate the possibilities of library spaces, and the importance of sound library practices by conducting immersive training programmes for educators and institutions, who in turn impact thousands of children. In 2022-23, Bookworm has had an impact on 20,000 children, 1300 educators, and 150 schools and 20 communities across 21 states in India. Bookworm is supported by CSR grantors and other donors. We currently run five programmes: Libraries; Libraries in Schools; Professional Development; Mobile Outreach Programme; and the Visual Arts Programme. A sixth programme, Libraries in Homes, is in its pilot phase, which allows us to reach children with special needs through specially curated play sets and activities that are delivered to their homes. Each of these programmes enables us to achieve our mission by working with a variety of children including those in government schools; community spaces where children have limited or no access to education; children with learning disabilities; with educators/ teachers; and with education organisations. We can help you set up childrens’ libraries, mobile/ traveling libraries; conduct teacher training workshops and capacity development programmes; conduct library audits; and curate book boxes with activities and learning tools to be shipped anywhere in India.

At Doorbeen, we believe that collaboration is key to create a lasting impact in children’s education. Doorbeen’s work to build a culture of reading across India would not be possible without the dedication and support of our valued partners who are making joyful reading experiences accessible to children in communities that need them the most. Our partners share a common vision: to foster a love for reading that will unlock the potential within every child. With their expertise and commitment, we have been able to: • Create welcoming school library spaces with dedicated library hours for children • Build vibrant community libraries led by children, youth and community members • Develop high-quality children’s books in regional languages that reflect the diversity of India • Train library professionals who help guide young readers in their reading journey • Create immersive literary experiences that bring the magic of stories to life We are incredibly grateful to our partners for walking this path with us, nurturing the next generation of readers, thinkers, and dreamers.
