Rare Books in The National Library
The National Library has innumerable number of rare books and other reading materials. Earlier, these items were stacked with other books. But, in 1973, a separate Rare Books Division was established to take care of the rare books. At present the books published prior to 1860 are considered as rare books. Along with such materials, manuscripts and microfilms of the library are also stacked in this division.
The division also provides reading facilities to the users who wish to consult these items. At present the division has 4,700 monographs, 3000 manuscripts and 1500 microfilms.
