★ ★ ★ ★ ★ I don't know why this is considered a public library. The librarian was rude and ill-mannered and kept on asking for membership.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Mahatma Gandhi proposed to construct a public library by the collection of books he had at Sabarmati Ashram. Gandhi donated approx 7,000- 15,000 books to start this library.
It was named after Maneklal Jethabhai; father of Rasiklal Maneklal, who donated to construct this library. It was inaugurated by Vallabhbhai Patel on 15 April 1938.
The architectural design of library was done by Claude Batley.[5][6] It is built in Rajputana Colonial architecture style.
The entrance area is octagonal space with a dome on top of it. The building is ornamented with chhajjas, brackets and jalis which Batley considered "practical climatic essentials" and rooted in the traditional Indian architecture.
heritage” means in the World Heritage City. With a collection of more than 7,50,000 books today, it’s still a favourite haunt amongst students and senior citizens. The library was initiated with a donation of 7000 books by Mahatma Gandhi. What’s more? It also has a mobile library!
80 years ago, Mahatma Gandhi donated 7000 of his own books to an unassuming new construction by the banks of the Sabarmati. Yes, book-lovers and Gandhians, you heard me right. The Sheth Maneklal Jethabhai public Library of Ahmedabad received more than 7000 books from Mahatma Gandhi back in the 1930s, all of which are still preserved in a dedicated section of the library. Gandhi always had in mind the idea that a library should be created for the books of the Ashram. His dream came true when local authorities decided to open a public library with philanthropist and businessman Sheth Rasiklal Maneklal’s monetary support. The MJ Library, today, preserves Gandhi’s collection in a capsule of time. But that’s not all. It also happens to be a top favourite destination for Amdavadis.
