British Council Library support to New Town Library

 


It was in 1972 a group of young people are planning for a mountaineering expedition to Indian Himalayas. The source of information was book, journal, photo and sketch map. We used to visit the National library. 


Our leader Sanatan Bhattacharya who was then a regular visitor of British Council Library at Shakespeare Sarani. He borrowed a book titled four mile high by  Josephina Scar. The book contains the vivid account of their climbing experience of Central & Lion Peaks of 1962. We carried this book for oue expedition helped us quite a lot to reach our summit.


On 1st October 2020 the Director British Council Library (BCL) and Chairman HIDCO signed MOU for supporting New Town Library(NTL) on  resources for the benefit of the members of NTL.


In my life I love to read books and journals to enrich my knowledge.
