CORPORATE LIBRARY SERVICE
Reading books on a wide array of subjects, spanning from management to self help, sports to politics, fiction to nonfiction, classics to new releases, is an intrinsic part of creating a well-rounded and productive professional.
What makes it difficult for employees/professionals is their lack of time and money, to get the books that they want and need to read. For corporates too, it becomes a very expensive proposition to provide an in-house library facility, because of the huge capital investment required on books, costly real estate and administrative hassles.
www.DoorstepBooks.com provides a paradigm shift to the concept of a conventional library and therefore provides solution to the above mentioned hurdles.
