A thematic library will be accommodated on the premises of Devaneya Pavanar District Central Library, AnnaSalai. It promises to provide visitors with a huge collection of books and journals on printing technology, covering its history and evolution.

District Library Officer S. Elango Chandrashekhar says the facility is being established at a cost of ₹46,46000.

The “thematic library” is expected to see the light by the second week of March. Spread over 3,900-sq.ft. and provided with air-conditioning, the facility will have more than 1,000 books, journals and magazines. Besides, visitors will get to watch a 20-minute audio-video presentation about printing technology. “The Education Ministry issued an order in 2018 to establish eight ‘thematic libraries’ across the State. The others are: A library on folk arts, in Madurai; on ancient Tamil medicine, in Tirunelveli; on Indus Valley civilisation, in Sivagangai; on ancient science and mathematics, in Tiruchi; on astronomy, in Coimbatore and a library on the life and culture of tribal people, in Nilgiris,” says Elango.
