Innovative privately run Public Library with NewGenLib

Hi all NewGenLib open source bloggers

I am delighted to bring to your attention a unique experiment: A public library started by a young and enterprising, and socially commited individual, actually a hard-core IT professional. The new library called Just Books is in Bangalore, India. The library has "a wide range of books for every type of reader - toddlers to teens, dabblers to bookworms under a modern ambience with effective use of technology" as the blurb that appeared in a Sunday newspaper in Banglore says. I am also delighted to let you know that the library uses NewGenLib with RFID.
I urge my friends to visit the blog page,

Some of you who live in Bangalore should visit this place and share your thoughts.
