With 20,000 plus books and 8210 life memberships, Confidant still lives on. Walburg Verissimo Coutinho gets nostalgic with Bharati Pawaskar. Quote: "I had newly started a business of lending furniture to those officers who were in Goa for a short duration during the early 70s. Many of my clients who took furniture on rent for two or three years had various kinds of friendly requests. Most of them inquired if there were books to lend too. They kept asking me till I decided I must start a library for them. So I made a trip to Mumbai and bought the latest releases. Confidant's Laureate Lending Library was born in 1972. My friendly clients became my initial founder-members. Soon locals poured in too, as this was the first library in the whole of South Goa that offered English books," says Walburg Coutinho. Unquote.

Life has moved beyond newspapers, books and now the internet is solely used for networking an ddownloading movies and music. Today, we may not have a chance to read a book a day but many like me do our fair share of reading online...."
