Delhi Public Library

Though I failed to get books of my desire, still the library has a good collection of books in various disciplines. Though I failed to get seat in the reading room, still there is good study rooms, both ac and non-ac. For finding a good book you at least have proper information about the availability in the library. For getting seat in ac study room you need to arrive before the time of opening of study room as soon it gets packed.

I was here at 18:45 hr for taking my cheque which is the return of deposits i gave at the time of membership.In the library there was a lady sitting behind the desk,i asked her to give the cheque.She told me the the person who sits on the desk is absent today.I told her i talked to him and he asked me to go and take the cheque.I asked her to please confirm from him.But then she denied.She told me to come tomorrow as she is busy doing some other work but reality is she was sitting behind the desk waiting for the clock to be at 19:00 hr.I told her as 15 min is still left,she can still give cheque as i am going out of the town and will not return.But she deny.After that i went outside and at the reception i asked the person to give complaint register.He asked me what happened and i told him everything that happened inside the room.Then he went inside and talked to the lady.He again came back and told me there ia no complaint register as it was never made.Now there was nothing which i can do.So i went to delhi public library website and started to search for the place where i can complain about the situation.Then i find the phone number and email id of in charge delhi public library east patel nagar Sh R K Meena but he didn't received the call.I tried again but didn't get any reply.Time was still before 19:00 hr which is official closing timing for public.Then i emailed him at his official email id.I am not hoping to get back from him.I didn't have a choice and don't know where to complain so put up here.Any of you have a right platform then please do something about these indian government offices.I am attaching some of the document.

Very nice.good staff.

They doesn't give you entry in the library until you pay the 1000 rupees

If you are planning to go to the Delhi Public library, then you should know that old library cards are now invalid which has a membership of more than one year. Now acc. To the new rules, old library cards will be renewed and it will have a membership of one year only. Also the charges for studying in DPS are now 200 rupees per month. Also the library is now shifted from its old place. So make sure to call the library officer before hand to know the new address.

best library ...in every term ...money,ambience,staff,facilities...almost every thing.... the reading room have preety good space to work nd not suffocating as others.. enough books for reference nd ...staff is awesome...they patiently guide u for everything...charges are also not freaking ...r reasonable ...living in small spaces of cities nd as a biblophile..i am indeed happy to find such place ...i'm not one who writes review often but ..i'm really grateful to see our country ,govt.,nd people doing such good in utmost important area ...made me to write this review ...I will say to those who are finding a library ..I will say go for it..but I go library for short hours nd long hours spending there can be different...nd here comes the lack of the library ..that it opens for less hours ..from 10 to 7pm for reading room nd library for 10 to 5 pm..
thank u ..

Please increase the number of hours for the library to open. 10:00-16:45 is really less time. Newspaper is also not available. Hope the staff will look into these issues. Besides these drawbacks, infrastructure is great.

Well this library is good but the staff is not so effective I mean they only provide seats to girls whether they will stay in library or Move out to the Library , having books but they are so old they don't keep new stocks of books here you will lease books and also make you I'd card here for almost free but you have to pay some cash like around 50 rs or less and you have to fill the form of joining the library
