The iloveread.in Library of Books

We are a delivery based library of books

The iloveread.in libraries are run by a network of entreprenuers. We love to read. And we love the comfort of our homes. If you love the same things, then you’ll love our service.

We started in 2009 at Chennai and we’ve completed 9 long years – in which period many existing libraries across the country have closed down including Hippocampus Chennai, a few units of JustBooks and even some of the British Council Libraries. We’ve survived thanks to the love our patrons have shown us.

Since we became a member of your library, I have been receiving 'threats' from my daughter to 'ask for delivery'. She read right through her exams despite some 'small battles' at home. Thank you! - Anmol Sherpa

We are loving the books we have borrowed from the library over the past few months! I am sure I wouldn't have discovered any of these books myself - this library membership has been the best investment ever. - Prathibha

I've been recommending this children's library (home-delivery based) to friends in Chennai ever since I checked their collection online. - Arundhati Venkatesh

(About the Valentine's Day service) It's so much better than the discounts that everyone else is offering because this is such a special and sincere gesture. It's great that you guys show your subscriber that you really care so much! - Mrinalini

The service is amazing. Excellent collection of books. My Daughter's reading skills are improving day by day. The credit goes to the team. - Neha Sehgal

I have a family of avid readers and most of us don't like reading on kindle. So for all practical reasons I have been desperately looking for an online library and iloveread is the perfect answer to our prayers! - Shilpi Choudhuri
