Dharamshala Community Library
TibetanGeeks provides books on web development to borrow at the Dharamshala Community Library.
There are the latest books on HTML5, CSS3, PHP, and WordPress.
The Library re-opened on 26 April 2010 in its new location on Jogibara Road,
McLeod Ganj, Dharamshala.
The main aim of the Library is to promote intellectual and creative awareness
in the Community by providing a space for reading. The other goal is to give Tibetan youths a way
to gain more knowledge in their free time.
