Bookaholics delight! Posted on May 20, 2004 Found a really cool lending library with a pretty good collection where you can book online and get delivery at your doorstep (for a small price, but very worth it). I’ve been trying to find a library since I got here so I am thrilled to bits! It’s a nice concept and this is the first time I’ve actually come across a library making use of the Net so extensively. If you’re in Bangalore, and like reading, it’s worth trying.

A journey along the Brahmaputra Posted on March 10, 2006March 13, 2006 Just finished this really interesting travel book called River Dog. I found it most enthralling since it takes a lot to undertake a journey of this nature. Not only is it fraught with dangers and risks of all kinds; but the Himalayas, Tibet and Arunachal are not very friendly terrains… Share this: Share on Facebook (Opens in new window) Facebook Share on Reddit (Opens in new window) Reddit Share on X (Opens in new window) X Share on Pinterest (Opens in new window) Pinterest Email a link to a friend (Opens in new window) Email Share on Tumblr (Opens in new window) Tumblr Print (Opens in new window) Print Read More
Hey Anita, You might want to try Eloor Lending Library (a street or two behind Safina Plaza, if I remember correctly)…not too sure if they’re webwise, but they do do have a pretty awesome range. 🙂 Reply
Navneet: Actually, I did go to Eloor with Pallavi, but it is pretty far away for me right now. I live in South Bangalore and don’t have a vehicle yet, so it is not very convenient. I’ve also joined a smaller library right next to my home, so I have enough to keep me happy for now! Reply
Hi Anita, I have been a easylib member for almost a year or more now.. infact, I came to know about it from another blogger – Arun. I always enjoyed their collection and more interesting part is that one can recommend books there and they would usually consider them. Happy reading.. and welcome to Bangalore. Reply
Hi Anita. Since Eloor has already been mentioned, have you been to the British Library on St. Marks Road? Last heard, they are shifting to a more spacious premises close by! Glad to see you getting familiar with Bangalore (Re: Auto / Driving Licence, Roads etc) and its idiosyncrasies!!! 🙂 Reply
hey thanx for this info, i was n blore for a while then i used go to british lib, might be comin there soon as my mba is gonna get over Reply
cool so where is this library? There’s one cool place that lends VCDs, DVDs, and Books just off Airport Road near Diamond District regards, Gautam Reply
Jay/ Ghaa: You’re welcome! Madhu: Please read post on my Illusion experience 🙂 Gautam, its at Koramangala. Near the BDA Complex. The address is on the site: http://www.easylib.com Reply

Hi Anita, Just wanted to let you know someone found this page useful a year after your original post. I came across the link couple of hours back and have already reserved a book online! But me thinks the range is not exactly huge. Thanks man. Best, Abi Reply
Hi, Another bookaholic who found this site from google. I know its been quite some time since the original post, but could someone give me road directions to reach the british council library.

Museum Bangalore – 560 001 Can someone please give me directions to go there from MG road? It would be a great help. Thanks. Reply
Hi everyone!!!! This is Raja Sekhar here, graduated from bits, pilani in 2005. Looks like all you ppl are avid readers. by the way i wanted a frank opinion on easy lib, both pros and cons, is there any market for online circulating library. in what all ways can the easylib service be improved. Hope you guys respond and give proper answers to my query Reply
Thanks for the info on easylib. British Lib is reachable via MG Rd ->Anil Kumble Circle->Turn left into Kasturba Rd -> turn into road next left (Opposite museum)->Find Prestige Takt on your left just a few yards away ->Left again ->left entrance->left door 🙂 NOW please help me with names and addresses of a few circulating libraries in HAL 2nd Stage, Bangalore. Thanks. Reply
I’d be eternally grateful if any one of you could tell me if there’s a lending library (or its branch) around Tata Sherwood. There’s a tragi-comic situation here – there’s a reading room but no books! Guess we could accomodate a branch franchise… Sanjeev Reply
easylib may be the first online library but in terms of range in collections eloor scores website address is http://www.eloorlibraries.in Reply

4 months back, I became a member of this library in Jayanagar called Mylib and it has been quite a nice experience for me. Brought back the childhood memories on libraries. I go there on weekends with my daughter and spend time just lounging at the library and reading mgzines or books. During weekdays, I use their online library (www.mylib.in) to select and get books delivered to my place. Oh !!! the magic of reliving the memories with the convenience of technology.. Reply
Can anyone tell me if there are lending libraries in and around RT Nagar, Bangalore..been searching for quite sometime .. Reply
Checkout this Online Lending Library http://www.nool.in located in Kaggadasapura, C.V Raman Nagar. They have wonderful collections in many south indian languages (Kannada, Malayalam, Tamil, Hindi and Telugu) I joined today and picked up my favourite kannada books. The contact details are on their contact us page. For impatient book lovers here it is 89 5151 7171 Happy Reading Reply
Hi Anita, Just checked with easylib , their delivery radius is pretty narrow. I live in Jayanagar and am not lucky enough to be within that radius .. If you can suggest any other sites that provide similar service it would be great … Reply
