She is Radhamani has travelled kilometres every day to ensure her 'walking library' benefits women, children and the elderly in villages who don't have any access to books. Since 2012, she has started working at Pratibha Public Library in Mothakkara village of Kerala’s Wayanad district. The library was built in 1961. Although the library has been around for almost 60 years, people in the village – women in particular – had no easy access to books until a few years ago. Despite their love for reading, their tight schedules, busy farming lives, and the distance and time to commute to the library made it difficult for them to visit regularly to borrow books. Her efforts for the last 10 years helped Pratibha Public Library's wide collection of books find the readers they deserve. Radhamani carries a heavy bag full of books in hand to these remote locations so everyone can enjoy reading from the comfort of their homes. Radhamani delivers almost 500 books every month. Every time she hands over a book, she marks the entry in her register. Radhamani known as a 'Walking Library'.
