Amazing Service

This library is DOPE The modern art installations, especially the sculptures made from recycled tire rubber, are totally Instagram-worthy. The touch screen monitors and RFID tech make it feel so futuristic. Plus, the no-footwear policy adds a fun, laid-back vibe. wanderlust librarygoals GoaExplored

I took my kids here and we all loved it The children’s section is colorful and safe, with stuffed toys and a variety of books. The library is very clean and well-maintained, which is a big plus for parents. The staff is friendly, and the cafeteria has cute murals. It’s a great place for kids to learn and have fun.

Stepping into this library is like entering a serene oasis. The building, though modern, exudes a sense of history and tranquility. The rare book section feels like a treasure trove, with ancient manuscripts and a rich collection of Indo-Portuguese literature. The internal conservation lab is a testament to the care and dedication to preserving the past. It’s a place where time stands still, and the love for literature is palpable.
