The Kalaignar Centenary library, the six-storeyed state-of-the art building to be inaugurated in Madurai on July 15, would house nearly 3.3 lakh books and feature various amenities and services.
Spread over 2.13 lakh sq.ft., the library, which would be inaugurated by Chief Minister M.K.Stalin, on New Natham Road would serve as a landmark structure in Madurai on the lines of Anna Centenary Library in Chennai.
Officials of the Public Works Department, which is the executing agency of the ₹150.91-crore project, said the project cost was revised to accommodate additional amenities and furniture. The library would offer reference books, journals and publications in various sections, including science, history, medicine and technology.
