State Central Library, Afzal Gunj

The State Library Hyderabad houses over 500,000 books and magazines. Probably why it happens to be the biggest library in Hyderabad. On top of that, it has an excellent collection of study material. And a reading room which is open for 24 hours. So you’ll find loads and loads of UPSC aspirants there. Basically, this is Hyderabad’s own version of Rajender Nagar in Delhi.

City Central Library, Chikkadpally

City Central Library is the first name that pops up in Google for ‘public library Hyderabad’. And why not? It houses over 200,000 books, journals, and magazines. Plus, you can read beneath one of the trees on campus. Now, we don’t know the scientific benefits of reading a book under a tree. But Newton discovered gravity sitting under one, so it’s definitely worth a try.

British Council Library, Jubilee Hills

In terms of fiction and non-fiction novels, the British Council Library, Hyderabad, is perhaps the most well-stocked. Also, they provide you with a Xerox machine and free internet in the library. Perfect for people who want to photocopy a particular para and keep it on their desk for inspiration. That might sound like an old-school idea, but we still prefer it to listening to those ‘motivational youtubers’ with a total vocabulary of one single word – hUstLe.

Just Book Jubilee Hills

If you’re looking for a library that is appropriate for all age groups, then ‘Just Book’ is where you go. The non-fiction section is one to die for. And it spans almost every topic that you can imagine. Like survival guides, honey cultivation, medicinal flora, and more. These are things that can fill your knowledge bank like anything. Or help you prep for Man vs Wild, if that’s your jam.

Vivekananda Institute & Library Himayath Nagar

The Vivekananda Library can almost be referred to as a ‘free library in Hyderabad’. Because the admission fee is just 7 bucks. It has excellent educational, spiritual, and childrens’ sections. You’ll find your favourite childhood comics here. Like Amar Chitra Katha, Tinkle, and Asterix. It’ll remind you of the time when the biggest problem in your life was homework. And not searching for a food delivery app with the best discounts. Lol.
