Event Description

What if failing was the first step to flying? 

Join author Menaka Raman for the inspiring story of Valarmathi, a young inventor who dreams big; just like India’s moon scientists! Through laughter and learning, children will discover how every mistake brings new ideas, and how courage and curiosity fuel success. Together, we’ll explore the Chandrayaan missions, the power of persistence, and the joy of trying again.

Come dream, learn, and launch your imagination this Sunday!

Around the World in 50 Sundays is a journey that begins, not with a ticket, but with opening a book. In a city like Bangalore where families are always in motion, the BIC Library hopes to offer stillness and a quiet, welcoming space for both parents and children where reading becomes a shared way of being and not a task.

Every Sunday, we open our doors to invite you into a library that listens; building a rhythm of return, a habit of joy and a new community bound not just by books, but by the weekly ritual of reading together.
