A well renowned library in Chandigarh. Theres two main government library in Chandigarh. One is in sector 17 and second one is this. Initially around 3-4 years ago, they were allowing person for reading section on showing ID card. But now you must have their library card to go in.

You all know what libraries are.?What you need to know is* Huge sitting capacity.* Huge book store.* rest rooms* Drinking water* enough Charging points* You can carry laptop inside the library* Tea, coffee, food, cigarettes, alcohol whatever you need everything is near by (but dont bring anything to the library).* And the most important thing is you can only enter in the library if you have membership card.✌️

Its situated near Gurudwara in sector 34 or you can go by Piccadilly mall, quite enough space for reading along with reference section with updated material, latest magazines n newspaper. Best place is reference section coz availability of course related matter and then reading hall.500 membership charge (refundable) plus administrative fees (approx 150).

This library is good especially for all those students who are preparing for competitive exams like IAS , HAS , BANKING ,SSC etc because here maximum of the students are preparing for these exams so you can get here good atmosphere for study.

They charge rs 600 for lifetime membership with refundable amount of rs 500 at the time when you leaving library.
