The State Government of Tamil Nadu has granted permission to open the public libraries from 1st September.
Over 4000 libraries in Tamil Nadu including the District Central Libraries, Connemara Library, Anna Centenary Library, etc., have remained closed due to the lockdown imposition by the central and the state governments as a preventive measure against the raging coronavirus pandemic!
