The quaint, little Gupta Circulating Library, on Malleswaram’s Sampige Road, is a charming haven for bibliophiles to spend hours scanning the shop for classics from five different languages and experience the warm, personal service extended by its owner, GRJ Gupta. He started this library when he was 12 and he’s catered to over three generations of Bangaloreans, but more on that here. Memberships to the library begin at a mere INR 200 and go up to 400 depending on the number of books you’d like to borrow in a month. Be aware that the place might have a staggered timing and may be closed on certain days. Call the place to confirm if they are open or not.
Price: Membership plans start at INR 200
