One of the hidden gems in South Delhi, I must say! This is not a public library as such but one can study here with the permission letter from the office. If you’re a scholar you can easily avail their permission letter from the office. Great environment to study. If you’re from Education background this is your place. Great staff, very cooperative with students and scholars. Daily newspapers are also available from the top newspapers like The Hindu, Indian Express, Times of India, Dainik Jagran etc. Like any library you are not allowed to carry your own books, however notebooks and laptops are allowed. And lastly the campus is so beautiful with flowers and gardens specially in the Feb-March time.
