Visit to Sheshadri Iyer Memorial Hall (STATE CENTRAL LIBRARY) Banglore

Place : Banglore (bengaluru), Karnataka
Date : 09-Nov-2019
Day : Saturday

Banglore was my business trip from 4th Nov, 2019 to 13th Nov, 2019. Between those dates, I took benefit of visiting famous places in Banglore in one weekend.

On 9th Nov,2019, Saturday, I took bounce bike visited to Cubbon Park. In Cubbon Park, this library was there. 

About this library : 

The colonial beauty was constructed in 1908 in memory of Sir Seshadri Iyer (Diwan of Mysore) for his service and allegiance to the British Raj. It began functioning as a public library with 4750 books and 215 members in the year 1915.  

The Karnataka Government took over the library in 1966 and converted the public library into the State Central Library in 1986, where it was opened to the public only for consultation of the documents within its premises.

We can get very old books here.

Let's visit to more than 100 years old library by my clicks ...

Let's go inside of library :



I visited to toilet in between. As first sight, It seems to me some design. But after looking clearly, it is sticked chew-gum. It was very bad habit of chewgum eaters. We should join 'Swatchch Bharat' and keep our and public premises clean.
