Library was always my favorite place in both school and college and I missed reading books a lot after I finishing my graduation. After that I have joined many private libraries but I was always ruffled by their many rules like limited books you could issue in a plan or else pay more for extra issue, limited number of days you can keep the book or else be ready to pay late fee. But Just Books is different.
In their own words “Just Books clc is a new generation community library chain that provides a unique reading experience to book lovers with a wide range of books for every type of reader Toddlers to teens, Dabblers to Bookworms under a modern, vibrant ambience with effective use of technology. Like we love saying – At Just Books, there is a book for everyone in the family”
I become the member of Just Books day before yesterday by paying Rs. 2500/- for their most basic plan which is valid for the whole year and allows me to borrow 2 books at a time. The first 2 books I borrowed was The Palace of Illusion and Khushwantnama (Review Coming very soon). I am planning to keep track of all the books I have read through Just Books here and how much money I have saved by becoming the member.
Here are some of the Salient features of the Just Books :
