One of the important functions of the public library is to provide a reading-room in which newspapers and periodical literature are made available to the population, who can neither afford to purchase nor have other means of gaining access of current information and recreation.
In library, Newspaper and Magazine/Reading Section with sitting capacity of more than two hundred persons, provides reading room facilities to a variety of readers and students who bring their own books and reading materials for self study. The perfect reading environment to students in reading room can only be experienced by visiting this section. At any point not less than 125-150 readers are sitting in the section and many a times they just don’t find a seat. This section is the biggest attraction of the library. This is a unique feature, which is absent in most of other public libraries in Chandigarh.
Library subscribes to 58 newspapers and 150 magazines.
