The first time I visited Anna Centenary Library was in November 2010, was a few months after it was opened. At that time only select floors were functioning.

Today, when I went again all the 7 floors were open and filled with books. I had gone in the morning this time, and I was able to spend nearly half-a-day reading many books. I had taken my son along and he was feeling happy being left to himself and loads of books around.

This place is a treasure to Chennai’ites, I hope Tamil Nadu Government saves it and develops it further in the coming years.

Seven floors of Books Paradise

The book racks were neatly spaced, wide and easy to access
