Chennai’s Easwari Lending Library preserves its storied legacy while evolving with technology
The HinduOn the penultimate day of National Library Week, a visit to Easwari Lending Library in Gopalapuram, feels like a portkey to a wistful past. “You’ve already picked up your books for the week,” says his mother K Tasneem. Book by book, this library got built,” says Palani’s son and Mukundan’s father P Satish Kumar. “I used to help Palani sir move the books to the warehouse across Avvai Shanmugam Road when it used to rain as the library would flood. Tasneem, a relatively new member, says that she and her children have been coming every week to the library because her children have been consuming books at a rapid pace recently.
