More than a thousand people thronged the Kalaignar Centenary Library in Madurai on Sunday, a day after Chief Minister M.K. Stalin inaugurated the facility, to take a look at the collections.
Some of the visitors said the library was a boon to the southern districts of the State, not just Madurai.
Upon entering the library, the visitors get to see the art gallery where the vintage photos of Madurai are on display. V.S. Sundaraveerapan, a student of Class IX and a fan of comic books, said he was happy to find his favourite collection of comics and would visit the library regularly.
