Boys Own Library & Youngmen`s Inst

A very old library. Has a huge collection of books.

It is a library established in 1909. Earlier it had a hall where plays were staged. Long back in the early seventies I have watched a play in its small auditorium. I do not know whether it (auditorium) still exists.

One of the best library of North Kolkata.... It's located in Hatibagan, Gowabagan Area..... If you want to make a member you call in their mobile phones and told them about your membership... You can also participate in all of their educational events..... Visit here for more info..... If you search for some of traditional library... This traditional is here..... Hope you like my review

I went there today, but it was closed. I think it's not operational now.
