On the occasion of World Book Day, in response to @SaylliWalve1 post. The Pune Nagar Vachan Mandir in Budhwar Peth is a 175-year-old library.
The building was constructed on 7 February 1848.
In the library’s second floor, you will find a large collection of Marathi books. There is a reading room on the first floor with English, Hindi, and Marathi newspapers available daily along with a wide selection of magazines.
There is a membership fee of ₹30/- per month, and this is an excellent place for book lovers to hang out.
Three of my books have been published. A favorite of mine is Eyes Scream - Arin’s Mystery which received a Grand Master award from Asia Book of Records and a record from India Book of Records.
As my first novel,
Eyes Scream - Arin’s Mystery is special. The words I write, every rejection I get, every edit I make, all are etched in my memory. I know there are many good storytellers out there, but I love mine.

Thanks for sharing this post with bookworms like me, @MerlinThomas. The place also has a public clock, so I now have double reasons to visit.
And, this one is special since it has Devnagari numbers on the dial - thanks to @AjitThite for pointing this out
