Hindi's Libraries is an international nonprofit based in Long Island, NY, established in December 2018 to commemorate the legacy of Dr. Hindi Krinsky, 32 year old educator and mother of five who suddenly passed away in August of 2018 due to a complication of Crohn's Disease. Hindi's Libraries originated as a schoolwide effort to create a Little Free Library box in Hindi's memory paced on campus for students. Quickly the project snowballed into something much larger. The organization has partnered with more than 375 organizations spanning all 50 states, India, Africa, Israel and Puerto Rico. The nonprofit has collected more than 100,000 childrens books and has donated more than 1,000 large boxes of books to nonprofits all over the world. 

Each book includes a dedication sticker that shows a photo of Hindi as well as a quote by one of Hindi's former students. All books are completey free to all recipients as the organization absorbs all costs including storage, boxing, shipping and printing.  To learn more visit www.hindislibraries.com or find us on social media.
