Ram Mohan Library: A 120-year-old treasure trove of books in Vijayawada

Those travelling on Vijayawada’s M.G. Road, the busiest thoroughfare in the city, would come across a nondescript building that appears to be one of the oldest around.

Constructed in 1914, it quietly witnessed many changes around it over the decades and continues to attract book lovers to its treasure trove of over 20,000 books, many of which date back to the early 20th century. This home of tomes is the Ram Mohan Free Library and Reading Room, fondly called the Ram Mohan Library.
