"Library at your doorstep" β Bringing books to the community
APLA is a distinguished organization that has been working tirelessly to inculcate the reading habit among people, both young and old. In the twenty-first century, with the rise of distractions such as multi-channel television and smartphones with Facebook and WhatsApp, fewer people are drawn to libraries. To address this, APLA adopted the Open University concept of "Education at your doorstep" and coined its own mantra: "Library at your doorstep." If readers do not come to the library, the library will go in search of the readers. Thus, the concept of mobile libraries was born.
The newly created mobile library was named after the eminent Shri Paturi Nagabhushanam as "Paturi Mobile Library"
The first mobile library was inaugurated on September 8th, International Literacy Day
