A well stocked library. Books available almost on all subject one can be interested in. But the stock is not updated very regularly. Most of the books are very old and are obtained from donations. Still its a wonderful place for any book lover.

Its a library where you can be a life member after giving fee of 1005 ₹ and identity card photo copy.You can issue two book at time for 15 days after that you have pay fine on per day basis.You can not sit and read book here which is very unfortunate and sad. Only civil service aspirant can sit here.Most of the book is very old not latest book or best sellers.You can read more than 10 news paper here.

It has got some good novels both in English and hindi languages but the condition of books is not that good, for now as more people are donating books it is gradually becoming a good library

It has an excellent collection of books. Awesome library👌👌

Popularly known as ‘Safed Kothi’ the Ahilya Library building dates back to 1908. The white neo-classical structure housed senior British Raj functionaries during the Raj and later served as the official residence of the Chief Minister of Central Province. The century-old building also hosted Vinoba Bhave during his month-long visit to the city in 1960. A year later, the building took on its current avatar serving as the site for the Ahilya Library stared through funds provided by Yeshwant Rao Holkar-II.

This is a good bump

I am already a life time member of this library from 2013 but then too they are charging fees of Rs500 per month and Rs 1000 deposit , timings of library is from 11 am to 5.30 pm only closed on Monday . Staff member are rude in behavior and when I have asked that why public library is taking such charges from existing members then they have become angry and told me that i am not having manners how to talk with elders .

Best place

Only davv students are eligible

Very less timings.

The Devi Ahilya Central Library currently has 70 thousand books, but after being associated with the Dellnet institution, this library has been directly connected to 4500 libraries in India and 500 libraries in other countries of the world.This will benefit the students here a lot. It is a matter of great pride for us. Most of the books in science and technology are in Delnet. We have been directly connected to libraries of countries like United States, United Arab Emirates, Pakistan, Philippines etc. sitting in Indore. With this state-of-the-art facility, the tradition of studies will be maintained.
