A project we've been working on at the library for quite some time has finally come to fruition. Yesterday we put on display some forty new books all written in Hindi. Authors like Premchand, Vishnu Prabhakar, Mohan Rakesh, Devaki Nandan Khatri, Rajender Yadav and Shivani have been very popular among Hindi readers during the 20th and 21st centuries. Devaki Nandan Khatri’s classic/historical novel “Chandrakanta” has been so popular that a TV series was produced about it.

For now, these books are on display near the circulation desk on the main floor. After a while, they will be shelved along with other non-English books in the Foreign Language alcoves. I hope you enjoy them!
