BFA currently runs 6 libraries within schools in urban villages of Noida, Uttar Pradesh. These schools cater to poor children, most of them first generation learners. Their parents are generally migrants from Eastern UP, Bengal, Orissa & Bihar. They are daily wage earners or own petty stalls selling Tea or Vegetables etc or have jobs paying meagre wages.

The Library is set up in a room provided by the school. This room is cheerfully painted and provided with simple furniture, durries, white board, green board, soft boards, charts, lots of beautifully illustrated story books, art and craft material. Every Library also has a full time Librarian. The schools earmark a Library period for each class during which students are encouraged to read story books. A host of other activities are also conducted. Remedial classes are conducted in the Library for weak students.
