Really good library with lots of books, journals, periodicals, newspapers 📰🗞️

And you can borrow books! Unlike Anna Centenary Library

I would recommend visiting the place and checking out all the floors and sections to get an idea 💡 of what you can read here, borrow here

They also have a digital catalogue to search 🔍🔎 books, but it's available only inside the library in two computers. Catalogue is not available online unfortunately

An ideal place to study books and prepare for examinations. Apart from the humongous collection of books, visitors can also adore the wood-carved archways and the stained glass windows. The building is home to books that are hundreds of years old, each painstakingly preserved, such as the Bible published in 1608 and Photographic Views in Madura published in 1858.

If you are searching for a study place which is peaceful, well furnished, fully ventilated with ac and with people dedicated in reading. I would say this is the place.
You can bring your laptops and printed materials inside the library. Own books are not allowed inside, but there is outdoor place where you can bring your own books and study.
There is a seperate section for civil service, commerce,law, language, reference book section etc.
There are books for 11th and 12th, computer science, coding, medical fields, agriculture,neet,jee,home science, biography, history etc.

Ultimate collection of numerous titles and categories. They have more than 7lac books. Don't miss to visit the old (historic) building of the library which can be accessed only from the first floor of the current library (Periodicals Section). Only one thing the library should do is making library catalogue available online so people can save time in the library by searching for a book.

This is really awesome inside the atmosphere of library, I at 3rd floor inside engineer cum Medical library room. I always go here when I visited chennai,
there we can see few languages like hindi, english and tamil may be more but I seen and visited these rooms only.
Iam not sure how many acres this place is, but there we can also see Connemara museum with reasonable entry ticket, pls if you plan to visit museum take a visit at 10am, so that you can view entire museum before 5pm where you can have more fun and surprises and I love carnatic Dance and Music competition sometimes in the same place, may entry price is like 300rupees/ person. All these I see in a single place 🥰

Again after long time went for library, happy to visit and memories of old moments....,
