My recent visit to the Anna Centenary Library (ACT) was a memorable one. I was awestruck with this architectural wonder, perfect planning on the design and arrangement.
I would say ATC is an ocean of books as the term "library" would limit its scope. Got to feel rare of the rarest books in the world, huge collection of books spread across various verticals. The display needs a big appreciation as one could never get confused.
I got to pick titles I have not heard of so far; British Colonies, Afro-American culture, Oman civilization, Emirates formation and the list goes on.....it took me 1 hour to pick a book and be seated. Absolute silence is maintained and the staff are kind enough to assist (incl. the security).
I guess ATC is the only place one could carry his/hers own books and spend quality time without any disturbances. Not forget to mention the "Braille" section, am sure its first of its kind to host a wide section. ATC opens at 8:30 and closes by 20:00, one could get sunk.
And the best part, all the facilities are offered free of cost, which is unimaginable. My appreciation and thanks to the team behind this marvelous creation, and my humble request to the team behind to re-locate. . . please leave it as it is.
