Adding another feather to its intellectual cap, Chennai is now home to South Asia’s largest library. So if you are a book lover and need a break from the city’s commotion, this is the place for you. The Anna Centenary Library is an eight-story structure that has recently added to the city’s growing modern landscape in the Kotturpuram area. A Braille section, children’s corner, replica of the "Tree of Knowledge," an auditorium and an amphitheater make quite an impression on visitors.

For anyone who enjoys books or libraries the Niligari library is a must visit. It was one of the highlights of my tour of south India. The atmosphere in this wonderful Gothic style building is wonderful and well worth experiencing. The staff were very welcoming and we toured the building with our guide. I wanted to spend far more time there just looking at books and soaking up the ambience. I held my first ever original copy of Punch magazine and sat in a chair staring at a wonderful painting of Queen Victoria , a painting with its own fascinating Indian history.
