Welcome to a ‘slim pickings’ edition of Lit Pickers. In these short editions we answer some burning questions that have been asked by you, the reader, and joining us is the lovely Mae Thomas.

In this episode, the trio discuss some of their favourite libraries and bookish nooks around the city and memories of reading places they treasured while growing up. They also discuss why libraries are important public spaces and list a few volunteer-run libraries which you can visit and spread the word about. The names of these can be found here: [spreadsheet link]You can find Supriya Nair at @supriyanair, Deepanjana Pal at @dpanjana and Mae Thomas at @maemariyam on Instagram.
