Reopen library
The old S. Vellaichamy Nadar Municipal Library on Katcheri Road in Virudhunagar used to be a centre of knowledge. The library, which used to overflow with readers, remains closed for the past few years. The library building is in a dilapidated condition. With no library other than the district library to cater to the needs of the ever-increasing population of the town, it is imperative that the closed library is given a new lease of life. Needless to say, libraries play a significant role in helping poor students prepare for competitive examinations, in an environment of acute unemployment. I therefore request the new municipal council to examine the issue in the right perspective and reopen the library in the interest of the public in general and students in particular.
