Amazing place for all the book lovers...
Wide collection of books...
Different section for the children...

If any one visited from inside of the library, you will find a very nicely carved steel stair case and also I had heard that; (not sure) it is having one glass floring in one room also.

Library has wooden roof and stacks are separated, so one can find books easily. The entire structure was designed to exact specification and executed by J. Snead and Co., USA, who also designed the Library of Congress, Washington.

The Ground floor has kota stone Tiles and the upper 3 floors are fitted with huge glass floor tiles. These tiles ensured that the metal armature and shelves on which the books are stacked do not heat up in the summer and freeze in the winter, and so keeping the books stocked at an even temperature.

If you are a book lover and don't want to spend a lot on buying them, this place will help you a lot. It helped me a lot when I wanted to read. Behind it also has peaceful place for people who are preparing for important exams. I would personally recommend to become a member of Central Library Baroda if you live nearby.

Maharaja Sayajirao Gaekwad was the first ruler to introduce compulsory and free primary education in his state in Year 1906, placing his territory far in advance of British India. His prosperous library became the core of today’s Central Library of Baroda with a network of libraries in all the towns and villages in his state.

The Central Library of Baroda was built in Year 1910-11. It was one of the first public libraries to be set up in India. It shares a unique resemblance to the World’s finest library, the prestigious Library of Congress, Washington, USA – both boast of a distinctive shelf-rack and glass flooring system that is disaster-proof, allow for as much natural daylight as possible and, most importantly, is extremely user and book-friendly.

The Central Library was actually born in Lukshmi Villas Palace of Maharaja Sayajirao Gaekwad, who were the pioneer of public library movement in India that began in 1906. He also donated 20,000 books as a ‘seed’ collection to get Library on its feet.
