About Author

Aarti Srinivasan

Aarti Srinivasan enjoys narrating stories to children and listening to theirs. She works with children in shelter homes and runs a tiny children's library in Mumbai. She feels that libraries for children must be a noisy place- a place where they can share and express their ideas freely and fearlessly.

About Torchlight

A Journal of Libraries and Bookish Love is a project (and a hope and a fervent desire) that emerged over a year ago to create and make accessible a digital space for nuanced, multi-disciplinary, multi-media, contemporary responses to the domain of the Library, in India. It is envisioned as a portal dedicated to preserving the spirit of free thought and the intense pleasure present in the act of reading.
