Murugan Lending Library, Adyar Review
The Adyar Murugan Library is a veritable treasure trove of books. It not only has the usual tomes in various subjects for students, not to mention a large collection of Nancy Drew and Hardy Boys, but I was delighted to come across the Enid Blyton books and fairy tale stories I read as a child. So while hiring them for my niece during my stay in Chennai, I got to relive my childhood! Of course, there are plenty of fiction books and biographies for adults too.
Although the library is small, it is extremely neat, cleand and well-maintained without a speck of dust anywhere. 99% of the time it is easy to find the book / author you are looking for due to the proper arrangements on the rack. Also, if you cannot find a book, the lady in charge will simply look it up on the computer, point to a rack and voila - there is the book you want!
I must say, the staff are extremely helpful in every way. My nieces books given for binding were returned within the time promised - not a day late - amazing, really, as now-a-days, delays are inevitable for just about everything!
