Centrally Airconditioned Reading Room
The Nehru Centre library offers a beautifully landscaped reading room with ergonomically designed furniture to make reading a beautiful experience. The red and white poinsettia, the magnolia tree and the bamboo lining the walls provide a striking colour palette in the library with soothing lights that do not hurt the eye and a beautiful art piece depicting Mumbai.
