Goa Central Library

Visited the newly inaugurated Goa Central Library at Pato in Panaji yesterday... very impressive! Very spaced out, and well designed, the library is airy and bright, unlike the dingy, smelly Central Library of our childhood memories. The children's section has lots of toys and play station terminals, and is a wonderful way to spend the evening. Internet browsing stations allow excellent avenues for research for school children and adults alike. Pretty sculptures adorn the halls and nooks and corners all over, giving a unique character to the building.

And the membership fee? 250 per book, lifelong!
