Did you know that spiders hold 44 Guinness World Records or that a pair of monkeys helped make space travel possible and that a pigeon saved the lives of about 200 American soldiers?

Join author Deepa Padmanaban to learn how creatures that live in and around our homes have shaped human lives and this planet. Each of these creatures has something to teach us about humanity, civilisation, history and science. Through this activity-filled storytelling journey, this is your chance to peak into the everyday wild world around you.

Around the World in 50 Sundays is a journey that begins, not with a ticket, but with opening a book. In a city like Bangalore where families are always in motion, the BIC Library hopes to offer stillness and a quiet, welcoming space for both parents and children where reading becomes a shared way of being and not a task.

Every Sunday, we open our doors to invite you into a library that listens; building a rhythm of return, a habit of joy and a new community bound not just by books, but by the weekly ritual of reading together.
