The Bangalore-based Justbooks Clc is India's first and largest community library chain. Owned by Strata Retail & Technology Services Pvt. Ltd and incubated and nurtured at IIM-Bangalore, Justbooks is already present in 10 cities including Mumbai, Bangalore, Pune and Hyderabad

R Sundar Rajan, Founder & CEO, JustBooks, said, "We are excited to partner with Scarecrow in our attempt to redefine libraries as a new generation platform connecting books and readers. Building a brand around a traditional neighbourhood service can present lot of interesting challenges and we look forward to work with the creative team at Scarecrow in getting people back to reading."

Raghu Bhat, Founder Director, Scarecrow Communications, commented, “Justbooks is our first ever client from Bangalore. This is a huge moment for Scarecrow. Being a book lover myself, it will be doubly satisfying if our campaigns succeed in making more people visit Justbooks, which has the most charming libraries I have ever seen."
