Story Land Library began as a beloved local library chain where families, especially parents with young children, could rent books. As the founders—avid readers themselves—moved back to India, they noticed a lack of convenient, kid-focused book rental services. This inspired them to bring the joy of discovery and reading into a digital experience accessible to families across the country.
The goal was to transform the warmth of a physical library into an engaging online platform. Story Land Library wanted users to browse books online, subscribe to rental plans, and have books delivered to their doorstep — all while keeping the experience fun and educational for children.

We started by observing customer behavior at the client’s physical outlets. Parents preferred clear categorization (by age, genre, theme), while children gravitated toward visuals and illustrations. We analyzed platforms like Bookchor, Kindle Unlimited, and Storytel to benchmark user experience, followed by interviews with parents and kids to identify their preferences and frustrations.
