Who We Are
The Liferarian Association is a passionate, purpose-driven community of librarians collaborating across international and local educational contexts to champion the library as the heart of learning. The association exists to empower and elevate the role of librarians across educational spaces — fostering a culture of curiosity, literacy, and lifelong learning.
Founded in 2016 by a collective of librarians from IB-accredited schools, Liferarian began as a platform for collaboration, professional growth, and peer support. Today, it has evolved into a dynamic and expanding movement united by the belief that libraries are more than spaces filled with books — they are hubs of ideas, innovation, and transformation. The Liferarian Core Team — Heeru Bhojwani, Kuntal Bhandare, Ketki Bedekar, and Mythily Iyengar — lead this initiative with a deep commitment to building inclusive and future-ready library communities. Through consultancy workshops, strategic guidance, and hands-on training, the team supports schools and NGOs in aligning their library programs with their institutional vision and mission, particularly in underserved communities. The association continues to advocate for modern, equitable, and globally aligned libraries that inspire lifelong learning.
Join us in reimagining the future of libraries — as spaces of possibility, equity, and empowered learning for all.
