I am an engineer and have retired after
serving for over forty years in the oil industry, both in India and abroad.
After retirement I have settled in Mumbai. Books have been my passion ever
since I can remember. Many subjects interest me, but history tops them all.
Books have been my constant companions so wherever I have been I have searched
for a good library. I discovered the Nehru Centre Library which is close to my
home. I am now a regular visitor to the Nehru Centre Library Mumbai, and find
it to be an excellent place for book lovers. The collection of books is
fantastic, the ambience perfect for quiet relaxed reading, and the staff very
courteous and helpful. There is such a wide choice of books that it can satisfy
all book-lovers. I am fortunate to be living close to it and frequently spend
hours there.
The library is well organized,
and has all facilities for scholars. They can find a lot of information for
their study and research. The library also gets a wide range of periodicals and
newspapers which will interest casual readers. Facilities for accessing books
on its internal circuit are also available. Comfortable individual work
stations are provided for it. One can spend hours at this library and come back
satisfied each time.
It is unlikely that there are any such libraries in Mumbai, and it
should be made use of by all book-lovers. For me it has been a source of joy to
be able to visit the library. The efforts of the staff of the library to
maintain it in such a good condition are commendable. I wish them all success,
and look forward to spending many more hours at the Nehru Centre Library.
