Mumbai: 130-year-old library calls for help in the face of severe financial crisis

One of Mumbai’s oldest libraries has asked the public for financial support to keep it from lowering the shutters. The People’s Free Reading Room and Library, a 130 year old Dhobi Talao institution, is facing a serious shortage of funds and needs support with a resuscitation plan costing around Rs 60 lakh.

The People’s Free Reading Room and Library was a gathering of like-minded people who wanted to offer free reading services to Indians. In 1891, a merchant named Damodardas Sukhadwala founded the library, which grew over the years and merged with the Dyanaprasarak student library, the Bombay Native General Library, and the NM Wadia General Library.
