Really Sharmishtha???? :blink: :blink: :unsure:

See! The spamming has started already!!

LOL :laugh: ..

Of late it is difficult to come across any reading room/library where one had to pay a nominal fees and could spend hours together browsing through the book shelves,read...People have no time during weekends for such activities I guess, so most of them have closed down.We had one here at Mangalore run by some private industrialist and I remember it used to be packed a decade ago when I used to take my children there ..but now it has closed down ... Another reason could be that people are more affluent these days and can afford to buy books rather than take the trouble of going to libraries !!!

Nowadays there are libraries on wheels which comes to your door step.We have one that comes once every week, on a modified tempo with book shelves all round it and one can go in and select the books of ones choice.I am pleasantly surprised to see the positive response from my neighborhood... :) One can borrow 3 books per week paying a flat rate of Rs 100 or one book for Rs 40 which is good ...

Mobile libraries are quite good and convenient, but the one in my neighborhood closed down for lack of enough members! With only a handful, they couldn't afford to operate it any more! :(

How many of you still like to visit libraries?
I love libraries and like to read different kind of books. Library not only provide books or educational learning but also provides a peace of silence which you dont get anywhere. But in the era of e-books ,libraries are extinguished. I wish our government start some libraries in the town, it would be real help for people who likes reading .
What are your views?

Library is a place of books.Various types of books are available in the library.We can get to read many old books where we can learn about our ancient history.

I like Connemara Public Library which is located at Egmore, Chennai. Lots of books are there.
