Utkal Community Library

Our library is an initiative by The English Lab, which aims to encourage reading habits among our members. In times when people are more inclined towards their mobile phones, we are trying to revive the reading culture and engagement with books for our young generations apart from their academic courses. Our library is completely free for all, and our services to the community come in the form of enabling creative thinking and intellectualism.
