Notice

Subject: Donation of books for the library

Ref. No: 113

Date: 13 August 2021

All the members are apprised that our club Nabarun Sangha has decided to open a library to help the people including the students of our locality by providing them books on various subjects. You are aware that most of the people of our locality cannot purchase all the books for their children. This apart, many people of our locality have developed the habit of reading books. We shall be happy if we can cater to their demands. But we’re not in a position now to purchase all the books necessary for our library for dearth of fund. Therefore, the honorable members of our club are requested to donate books generously to our library so that we can really develop it as a storehouse of knowledge.
