… the lending libraries are again one of those businesses that doesn’t get new players to come in. These are one of the places one could spend any number of hours if they love books.
Eloor lending library is one of the last present chain of libraries across India, in Chennai at Boag Road, T Nagar.
What a wonderful opportunity! Is the usage charge a one-time charge or an annual charge? Do the public libraries offer the same service?

Ram : Yes Margret, Public libraries do offer such service at a very nominal cost. But they are far and few. Such small neighbourhood libraries thrive on Fictional Books mostly at fixed deposit till you have their membership and 10% of book cost normally for two weeks of reading.
