Library timings for those who cannot read ಕನ್ನಡ

Timings 🕒: 8:30 AM - 8:00 PM
Holidays📅: Second Tuesday, Fourth Saturday, Public Holidays & All Mondays (Though the librarian mentioned that they plan to keep it open on Mondays)

I have been visiting this Library since the last few months due to the noise from the construction taking place outside my apartment.
It's a well maintained, mostly silent library with a lot of aspirants preparing for competitive exams.
Yes, you are allowed to bring your own books and can also bring your laptop/digital learning device although you won't be provided with a power slot to charge them.

The lifetime membership costs roughly 200₹ with 3 passport + stamp sized photographs and a copy of your Aadhar card.
You don't necessarily need a membership to visit the library and study although the membership would be of financial aid to maintain the facility and also let's you borrow 3 books at a time.

Areas that could be Improved:
1) Providing power slots for the members who use their laptop.
2) Access to Wifi with a nominal daily charge for those who access online learning platforms

Nonetheless, this place is a much better alternative than the noisy cafes and the environment will enable slackers (like me) to get some work done. See you there

It is a quiet reading space. I love reading and studying here. I have been visiting here for almost three years now.

Good place for reading we can read from morning till evening peaceful and quite environment reference books are available I am going here from past 4 years it is free no one will disturb you

Calm and sensible people at this place. Peaceful location. You can bring your own books and laptops and spend quality reading time here.

Quite place for studies, not a great collection of books, but has some popular local magazines/weekly's

library closed on second Tuesday

This place to spend time for reading newspaper journals and anything you are training for. But if you take your own laptop take it with full charge as there isnt any charging points.

Indiranagar library is spacious, neatly arranged newspapers, magazines and books. Nice location. No problem for parking. Well ventilated. Good staff. Only problem is stinking toilet. My god. Very bad. Otherwise good place.

Best and well maintained place for reading. Onething i observed they have different language newspapers probably more than 10 then they wide variety of montly magzines. There are good number seats to seated and also computer available 10rupee per hour usage which appreciable. Staff are well behaved and kind surronding is quiet. But more quality books would like to see here. Overall much more library like this should come across Bengaluru.

Calm place for studying. Neat and clean environment along with this the inside atmosphere is super cool.

Very Good and Calm place for Students to Study for their exams. No distraction No disturbance here. Librarian Sir ji response very positively with members and guides them properly. Very Good Library in the City.

You can call this a proper library! Peaceful and you get similar kind of people who wants to read. You might have to be there early to get a good seat near windows with ventilation or else it will be a bit warm.
Parking will be an issue
Food is available nearby
Restrooms is bit okay, but rather i would go somewhere else.

Situated in a very quiet locality and the place's entrance is covered with plants which gives a even more calm feeling.

The library is also well maintained. The atmosphere is such that you'll feel very comfortable to read.

Best place to prepare for exams. you can take your books inside. rest room and drinking water is available. ground floor is general section and first floor is for reference, there you can study with your books. Nobody will disturb you. Seperate chairs available for boys and girls (30+20). Second Tuesday is holiday.

Library is really located at calm place . Except for public holidays and Monday it’s open on all the other days . People do come and study novels and other books but what I have seen is most of the youngsters bringing their own books and preparing for competitive exams , including myself . There is separate sections for boys and girls to sit and study and racks to keep your bags .
Restrooms and drinking water facility is available . Library is open till 8 PM .
Parking is generally not a problem , you can park your 2 wheelers in front of the library and even the 4 wheelers in the same lane as it’s not busy .
You can get food from home and have it , sitting outside . Food and Beverages are not allowed inside the library .
There is a bakery nearby , where you can have tea/coffee and snacks in the evening time .
I would strongly recommend this place for peaceful reading .

Best part of this Library is the long hours study time
they open the library at 8:30 a.m & close at 8:00 p.m for those who are preparing seriously for any competitive exams to face the cutthroat competition. I would really recommend this place.
and librarians are very polite and nice here.

One of the best place to study and getting prepared for competitive exams. The environment of the place encourages you to spend whole day there. Such a wonderful and peaceful premises to study in the fast moving city.

Good place to read and study..you can carry your ipad/ lap/books.
