    Re: Libraries in Mumbai

    Dear Reader,

    The British Council Library in Mumbai has been reinvented as 'mylibrary' - an online library service.

    mylibrary is an online library service where books can be ordered from a real time web-enabled catalogue. All you have to do is choose the books you want from the comfort of your home or office and your order will be delivered to you at your doorstep … and we will pick it once you are ready to receive your next delivery!

    As a mylibrary member, you get access to over 22000 books plus a huge collection of e-resources ranging from science to fiction to biographies to media and much more!
