Sorry, we do not allow personal books or laptops inside The Coforge Public Library. We want to prevent it from becoming another remote working space or studying space, which will edge out readers. Please do come and explore our vast collection of books; we are sure you will find many amazing reads and you will be inspired to sit and read here. Thank you for your understanding and support.

Our goal is to encourage lifelong learning through reading books. To achieve this, we have curated a vast collection of books and created a space that is calm, quiet, comfortable and free from distractions. We are not aware of too many such spaces in our cities. Having a book reading or a book club meeting will cause distraction for other readers, which we want to avoid. We hope you and your reader friends will come to the library to read. Thank you for your understanding and support.

We would be delighted to have school children visit the library. However, please ensure that they maintain quiet and explore the book collection without disturbing other readers. For this, may we suggest that you conduct a briefing before the visit to ensure they are able to make the most of their time at the library. Please do inform our librarians of the visit beforehand so that they can be prepared to handle a large gathering. We very much look forward to your visit.
