Delhi Public Library, Public library in Delhi, India
The Delhi Public Library operates from a building located opposite Old Delhi Railway Station, next to Chandni Chowk Metro Station Gate Number 2.
The library opened its doors on October 27, 1951, as a collaborative pilot project between UNESCO and the Government of India, following a donation from Shri Ramkrishna Dalmia.
With 37 branches across Delhi, the library maintains collections of books, newspapers, periodicals, Braille materials, paintings, digital media, and gramophone records for public access.
Members can borrow reading materials for 14 days with renewal options, and the library operates Monday through Saturday from 10:00 AM to 5:00 PM.
The institution functions as a National Depository Centre, receiving one copy of every publication released in India at no cost under legal deposit regulations.
