Welcome to Books On The Delhi Metro!
Do you commute by Delhi metro? Are you fond of reading? Do you believe in fairies?
Well, guess what? We too! We are a bunch of book lovers who believe in sharing-is-caring. And we decided to take this a step ahead.
So now if you see some stickered beauties while you are commuting, don’t fret, don’t hesitate. Those books are there to be picked, read, and devoured!
Here’s what you have to do-
TAKE
Found one of our books on the metro? The book needs your warmth, a new home.
Feel free to pick it up and take it with you!
READ
All our books celebrate the unique and powerful work of a wide range of genres. Read, love and devour them!
RETURN
Once you’ve finished the book, return it to any metro station you like. Just inform us through social media (Facebook message, Instagram DM, or Tweet us) and we’ll retweet/repost your drop!
Books On The Delhi Metro 
Hi I just saw a Post on LBB, describing this very exciting and applausible work that you do.
I want to be aware of how the whole idea works.
Do you post clues on your facebook page, as to where to find the books?
And what if someone is not courteous enough to return them?
Thanks and Regards
