Books In24hours. In

Living and working in Kota means you are always surrounded by students and heaps of books. Books In24hours. In is basically our attempt to keep up with all that energy. We are based right here in the city, which is always buzzing with people looking for the next set of notes or a specific textbook they need for their exams. Our space is mostly filled with stacks of paper and the smell of new bindings. It’s not a library where everything is silent; there is usually someone checking an order or packing a box to get it out the door. We spend a lot of our day looking at lists and making sure we have what people are asking for. Sometimes the electricity goes out for a bit, or the delivery van gets stuck in traffic, but we just deal with it as it happens. We aren't a giant warehouse in some far-off place. We are just here in Kota, working through the piles of inventory every day. It’s a lot of manual work, lifting boxes and sorting through titles, but it keeps us busy. Most of the time, we are just trying to find more shelf space because books have a way of taking over every empty corner. If you walk past, you’ll probably see us mid-task, surrounded by bubble wrap and shipping labels. It’s just how things are at our spot in town, keeping the pages moving to the people who need them.
