★ ★ ★ ★ ★ General Description :
There are two to three state libraries in Shimla, whose history goes back to British era. One of the must places to visit in Shimla is the centre of the city, The Ridge.
As you are walking down the charming street at the ridge, you will see various British-era buildings behind you. Behind Christ Church, you will see a lone structure, which is a small and colonial style of the building. It is known as the State Library.
During the British era, it was one of the important parts of the city, where people use to borrow books for reading. It was also the cultural centre of the city. Today, also it is one of the important cultural parts of the Shimla city. The State Library has preserved more than thousands of the rare and old books in safe custody for the keen readers.
