About Us

Building a Reading Community Since 2009

Our Story

Grameena Vayanasala Kumbalangad was established in 2009 by a group of passionate community members who recognized the transformative power of reading and education. What started as a small collection of books in a modest room has grown into a thriving community library serving over 500 members.

Over the years, we have expanded our collection to over 2,500 books spanning Malayalam and English literature, science, history, children's books, and more. Our library has become a cornerstone of the community, fostering a love for reading across generations.
