This is one of the best libraries I have been to. It has lots of facilities for a visitor. It caters to people of all ages and regions. It is state of the art in its amenities. It has children's area. Good car and two wheeler parking with security. Good auditorium is also there. Located in a central place of Educational zone, it is very easily accessible to public.

Knowledge factory. Every one should visit/utilize this library. Good atmosphere to study. Nowadays books reading habit reduced compare with earlier days due to mobile phone entry in society. I really feel that when I enter into this library study mind automatically stick with me. We can say it is Knowledge temple. One of my favorite place. Every parents should go with their kids/children's to induce book reading habits. Suggesting to library management to keep washrooms maintenance required. This is only the drawback point. Finally overall is Good.
