British Council Library, Baner Road

The British Council Library has been an iconic library in Pune. Unfortunately, the physical library closed down in 2020. And it’s now completely digital. So it was a major bummer for their existing members. Cuz you literally had to wait for a couple of years before your membership got approved. Now, that’s like waiting in a long line to withdraw cash. But only to be greeted with ‘The ATM is not dispensing cash’ at the end of it.

Jagtap Model Library, Gaikwad Nagar

The Jagtap Model Library is popular for its collection of Marathi books. But you’ll also find classic English novels that are on everybody’s booklist. Plus, they take out a survey every month and the collection is updated as per the members’ preference. That’s more democracy than a lot of nation-states in 2021.

Just Books Library, Viman Nagar

The Just Books Library does not only provide, well, just books. They also deliver them to your doorstep. On top of it, the non-fiction section is what draws most people. It stocks books on travel, general knowledge, spirituality, and much more. And that’s perfect for curious kids who are interested to know a little bit of everything. Kinda like the kids in school who used to win Bournvita Quizzes, remember?

Books Meridian Library, Kalyani Nagar

Another one on the list of ‘best libraries in Pune’ is the Books Meridian Library. Believe it or not, it houses around 18,000 books and 115 different types of magazines. Basically, if you were the kind of kid who used to read your mum’s magazines without understanding a word of it, this is a must-visit place. And without your mum accusing you of ‘not being old enough. 

Friends Library, Salunki Vihar

If you’re looking for a library in Pune for study books, this should be your go-to place. Plus, it also has a Xerox shop. So you could just get photocopies of the specific chapters of a study book you need. Basically, the good folks at this library are not just your ‘friends’. But more like lifesavers, you know.
