Branch Libraries
The Central State Library is a mother organisation under which other branches in the rural and urban areas are functioning in the UT Chandigarh. With the demographic expansion in the UT Chandigarh, comprising a sizeable proportion of the literate population, the demand for library services began to emerge in the 1970s. Consequently the Administration extended the library services of the Central State Library through a network of branch libraries in urban as well as far of rural areas.
