The loneliest library in the world

*Counterpunch - * <http://www.counterpunch.org/2014/06/13/the-loneliest-library-in-the-world/?…>At 73, P.V. Chinnathambi runs one of the loneliest libraries anywhere. In the middle of the forested wilderness of Kerala’s Idukki district, the library’s 160-books — all classics — are regularly borrowed, read, and returned by poor, Muthavan adivasis. It’s a tiny tea-shop, a mud-walled structure in the middle of nowhere. The hand-written sign on plain paper pinned to the front, reads: *Akshara Arts & Sports* Library Iruppukallakudi Edamalakudi [image: sainathlibrary] <http://www.counterpunch.org/wp-content/dropzone/2014/06/sainathlibrary.jpg> *P.V. Chinnathambi, 73, Tea Vendor, Sports Club Organizer and Librarian* This is a low literacy spot in Kerala, India’s most literate state. There are just 25 families in this hamlet of the state’s first elected tribal village council. Anyone else wanting to borrow a book from here would have to trek a long way through dense forest. Would they, really? “Well, yes,” says P.V. Chinnathambi, 73, Tea Vendor, Sports Club Organizer and Librarian. “They do.” His little shop — selling tea, ‘mixture,’ biscuits, matches and other provisions – sits at the hilly crossroads of Edamalakudi. This is Kerala’s remotest panchayat, where just one adivasi group, the Muthavans, resides. Getting there had meant an 18-km walk from Pettimudi near Munnar. Reaching Chinnathambi’s tea-shop library meant even more walking. His wife is away on work when we stumble across his home. They too, are Muthavans. -- Thanks and regards. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Jayadev P.

Dr Harish Chandra no more
by SB Ghosh 17 Jun '14

17 Jun '14

Dear all, I am greatly depressed to get the sad news of passing away of Dr Harish Chandra, Librarian IIT. It is a great loss to the Professionals in India abroad. I happen to know him since the days of his service at IIT, Delhi. Though He was junior to me but we were friends in all respect. When I was at INSDOC, he used to visit me very often in connection with many issues particularly academic affairs. I met him last at Chennai when He organized IASLIC Conference. That Year,we at IASLIC were in a problem about getting a suitable venue for the conference. Though IASLIC organized conferences at Chennai earlier, I requested Harish to organize it at IIT which he agreed at a short notice. He told me that when you say it is an order. As many of you who attended the conference may recollect how successfully he organized the conference. It is in IIT Conference where I was elected as The President of IASLIC as a first Librarian to be in that position. The conference gave an opportunity to see the IIT library where we saw the tremendous innovation he has made for users' services and the respect he had from the academics and students. I had the opportunity to be involved in many committees where he was also a member. He developed so much proficiency in Tamil, when I asked him he told that I am a person of this land.and i have to do it. It is a personal loss to me. May His soul rest in peace and let the Almighty give his family the courage to bear the loss.
