The Asha Library project is to provide children, of Asha funded projects, with access to the books. Currently most of the eastern UP projects are covered by this endeavor.

The project is monitored by a committee of Asha India volunteers who visit each project individually on regular basis. The library model was introduced at two Asha projects, Mahila Swarojgar Samiti, Varansai and Jeevan Daan Samiti, Gazipur, in 2004. Based on the success of these two libraries the project is now expanded to other Asha projects with detailed plan for operation and monitoring.
