There are academic and scholarly libraries, special libraries for different professions like law and medicine, children's libraries, school libraries, Parliament libraries, and so on. But the most important among them are the public libraries. There is a large variation in the size of public libraries - from the small public libraries in small towns supported by different State Governments in India to the very large Library of Congress and the British Library. These libraries are not only places for people to read books but they perform a variety of other functions. They are centres of community action. And in certain cases they are also examples of great architecture and beautiful buildings. Here is a selection of 25 beautiful libraries. Chennai can be proud to find Connemara Public Library in the list.
