Was surprised to see such a library with a beautiful elevation and fantastic interior in Tamilnadu... The moment I got in, I felt bad about the TN government's decision to convert it into a hospital!! 'N' number of books... available in different categories... What was more interesting is... I could see people of all age coming there and utilizing this... More

It is the biggest library in Asia and a proud for Chennaites and Indians. A collection huge and rare piece of books and materials available. A must place to visit for book lovers and one and all

A grand library with lots of books. The area itself shows how big is this one. Good ambience and quiet atmosphere for the readers and one can definitely pay a visit to this place.

Though have heard a lot about it. Had opportunity only to make it for celebrating 25th year of "How to name it" album by Raja Sir. The place is awesome, it was out of place and I couldnt believe I was in Chennai. Spectacular parking facility along with other amenities. Library is of international standard.

Even a person who dislikes to read books will be tempted to go to the library daily. Mana kottam therkkum Noolkal nirambi vazhikinrana.. One of the best achievements of the former minister Thangam Thennarasu. Alas...it is... More

Either to read novels or refer subject matter. Each floor is huge and has two wings, A and B, which are interconnected in some floors. The whole place is... More

The library guided us to the various sections in the building, but then it is so huge that u can easily get lost within the air conditioned building. the library is very well lit with a mix of natural light and electric...

Pretty big library for Chennai, and perhaps India. One of my gripes is that you can't borrow anything. Can't say the people working at the library were uber-friendly, but they do their job. The children's section is impressive by Indian standards- there's even a section with Curious George and Dr. Seuss books. There's a fake tree in the middle of... More

Built over a massive area of 3.75 lakh sq ft in Kotturpuram, Chennai. This library has been built to house 1.20 million books. The library having books on all major languages, besides providing access to few lakh ‘e-books’ and thousands of ‘e-journals’. A “very special feature” of the this library is that it would straight away have a digital edge,... More
