Dear members, patrons and well-wishers, Welcome to the new website of the Palakkad District Public Library. We enter our ninth year with renewed energy, having faced unprecedented challenges. We now have over 8000 members and our collection of books and DVDs is growing. The library has been the scene of a rich variety of events and programs in literature, art, music, film, heritage and science. During the lockdowns of the past two years, we developed a range of online seminars and programs that have attracted their own following. The Palakkad District Public Library is one of a kind in Kerala, and the size and range of its books are unmatched even in many metros throughout India. We offer a wide variety of books and DVDs for study and pleasure. A number of special sections or “Corners” feature favorite and eminent authors and philosophers—Gandhi, Vivekananda, EMS Namboodiripad, O.V. Vijayan and many more. We also have special sections on management, anthropology, Buddhist philosophy, Islamic studies and other fields in our extensive Reference section, many of them sponsored and supported by educational and private institutions. Our Children’s Corner is a bright and cheerful space with over 6000 books in Malayalam and English. The books in the Children’s Corner as well as in the main library boast a diversity that is rarely found in Indian libraries and book shops. State government grants and the generosity of donors have made it possible for us to keep renewing and expanding our collection. Countless members, officials and friends have supported the Palakkad District Public Library with their patronage and hard work. Words cannot express our gratitude for your generous contributions. Our community has brought us through tough times just as the library strives to bring the community through tough times. We look forward to increasing our membership, enlarging the spaces available for our members, and upgrading the library’s facilities and infrastructure. We hope for your continued support in all these endeavors to transform the Palakkad District Public Library into a true cultural center of Palakkad. Best wishes, T.R. Ajayan Secretary, PDPL
