Read! Eloor Lending Library

Best library in town as far as I know: Eloor Lending Library, off Infantry Road.

Wide range of subjects - from children's books, Calvin, fiction, philosophy, photography, politics, science, cooking, to name a few - and also a big magazine section. Am told their Computer and Management sections are also really good. They charge 10% of cost of book as reading fee - well worth it, books are so expensive to buy these days! And you get to keep the book for 2 weeks.

How to reach there: Go down Infantry Road (it's a one-way), before you reach Safina Plaza, on your left you'll see ICICI Bank, big orange board. Turn left there. A few buildings down the road on your left is Blue Cross Chambers (parking in front). The library is on the ground floor at the back of the building - and the entrance is from the side. You'll see the board of Anand Lab, there'll be steps to the ground floor after that, the library is on your left.

Timings (as far as I remember!): 10 to 8, with lunch break between 1 and 3. They're open on Sundays too.
