Genesis @ Mobile Library
Kanakasabhai Pillai felt that without fostering reading habit, teaching people to read and write was not going to take them far. But remote villages did not have libraries. So Kanakasabhai Pillai came up with plans for a mobile library. Pillai, who was an assistant engineer with the PWD, designed a bullock cart, to carry books to the villages. Thus was born the mobile library which was inaugurated in Melavasal village, Mannargudi taluk, on October 21, 1931 by Dr. S.R. Ranganathan, father of library science in India.
