A
Letter
from
Sahitya
Goshti
1) ACKNOWLEDGEMENT: I am pleased to announce that Sahitya Goshti is all set to start its own Kannada Mobile Library very shortly. This has been possible by the generous donation of 14 Kannada books by our member Sri Ravi Krishna Reddy. I am really lost for words to express my sincere gratitude to him for making this happen. Thank you very much Ravi Reddy; this will go a long way in cultivating and nurturing pure literary interests in our members.

RULES

the
books
to
all
of
our
programs
and
do
the
transactions.
2.
Each

can
borrow
only
one
book
at
a
time,

month
per
book
towards
late
charges.
Although
every
effort
month,
in
the
event
that

cant
be
held
in
a
particular
month,
the

will
not
be
charged
late
charges
for
that
month.
5.
If
the

or
if
the

is
lost,
he/she
will

all
the

he/she
has
accumulated
so
far
at
the
rate
of
$5

Every

to
buy
the
book
from
Karnataka
and
replenish
the
lost
book.
6.
Books

There

a
pitiable
condition!
