MORE THAN JUST A LIBRARY… WE SHARE KNOWLEDGE
The largest of British Council's worldwide operation, the British Council Library network in India is spread across eleven Indian cities. Each year we respond to 200,000 enquiries and make 2.4 million book loans, serving the needs of 15,000 visitors every day, with over 40,000 new books adding to our stock every year.

Modelled on the pattern of British public libraries, our libraries have a modern ambience, backed by efficient service and facilities, and supplemented by courteous and competent staff.

Apart from providing the best of reading materials published in the UK, we also provide access to the World Wide Web for our online products, aiding the education and development of children with multimedia, and a wide range of services set to the highest professional standards.
