Bhasha Bhavan, Main Reading Room & Office

Very good place for self study You can easily get membership First register yourself online and then take your registration number to the library they will give you the membership card

The entire area is surrounded by thick foliage that adds to its beauty. You can undertake a walk around the campus and also capture it in your lenses. Do remember to carry your identity card while visiting the library. Given its proximity to the Alipore Zoological Gardens, you can visit the two on the same day. Once in the city of Kolkata, a tour of the National Library will keep you coming back for more.

We took visitors pass. If you wants to read books then have to be a membership. Photography is prohibited inside the library.

Very large auditorium used for international events as well. I attended the tata steel chess tournament 2022 here and it has a very well maintained auditorium with good quality seats as well.

The reading hall with its vast treasure of books, magazines and journals is a magnificent place to visit. The library offers a quite and calm environment, a heaven for book lovers. The place is fully air conditioned and provides a well organised and well maintained infrastructures with comfortable seating arrangements for almost all age groups.

Auditorium is superb. A heritage place inside national library

Bhasa Bhawan Auditorium is a nice place with all the amenities. Visit every year during the Tata Steel Chess Tournament.
