‘Success mantra’
Addressing a meeting organised to mark the valedictory of the 52nd National Library Week at Tagore Memorial Library, Mr. Chandrudu said most successful people would tell you that they had been reading books since their childhood and how their reading habit had contributed to their growth.

Former journalist Turlapati Kutumba Rao, who presided over the meeting, said despite the onslaught of technological modes, libraries would never lose their sheen.
