Books and Bliss!
The Nehru Centre’s brand new library premises on the first floor of its Discovery of India building is already making waves, as people discover the sheer delight of five-star comfort amid the bookstacks. The ADC’s Vishwanath Salian was there and came away maha impressed.
Architect I M Kadri shows you how to navigate to best effect among the periodicals on offer. Behind him stands librarian and documentation officer Arati Desai.
"Meet you in the library lobby at the Nehru Centre" looks set to becoming a mantra, a green one at that !
The ambience is great, the atmosphere conducive to reading.
It's all available - computers and the internet, audio and video, and digitised cataloguing, make content browsing a complete experience.
Out of the basement into a more visible location, the Nehru Centre's 25,000 volumes have been serving the city for decades. And the range has only increased over the years to suit both scholars and the book lover.
And so to the egress (or the entrance) depending upon whether one is coming or going.
Impossible to by-pass, people who come to see the Discovery of India exposition on the ground floor, are invariably drawn to the lovely reading areas on the first floor.
