💨 Abstract

The Hazrat Shah Waliullah Public Library in Delhi's Old City was founded in 1987 during a curfew due to communal riots. The library, originally a gathering space for friends, now houses over 30,000 books in Urdu, Arabic, Persian, Hindi, and English. It faces challenges due to space constraints and aging founders, but continues to attract visitors, including scholars, researchers, and students.
