Parliament Library

Parliament Library which is mainly intended forthe use of Members of Parlia­
ment was originally located in the Central Hall whose lobbies were specially equipped
with built-in book cases to stack books. In 1946; this Hall was converted into the
Constituent Assembly Hall and the Library was shifted therefrom. The Library is
now located in the Library Hall previously known as Chamber of Princes, its adjoin­
ing rooms on the ground floor and the roomsj on the first floor between Lift Nos. 3
and 4.

The Parliament Library on the first floor contains a large collection of books on
a wide range of subjects. Government Reports, Debates, Statutes, and various other
publications for reference are available for Members in the Ground Floor Library.
These are all indexed and catalogued and the index cabinets are kept handy for con­
sultation.

A Reference Service is maintained in the Library which inter alia undertakes the
supply of reference material to Members as needed by them in connection^with their
Parliamentary work.
