Mythic Society

The information in this post might be outdated

Just behind the 100-year old Daly Memorial Hall, is the Mythic Society’s equally old library that is a treasure trove of books — old and new. In fact, it houses over 40,000 books inside a sea of green aluminium bookshelves that include ones donated by Sir Hugh Daly, who was once the Resident of Mysore State and Chief Commissioner of Coorg, and after whom the building is named. The Mysore Secretariat’s Library’s collection is also found here as it was transferred here in the early years. You can read all about that here. Unlike other libraries, you can’t check out a book and take it home, but rather you need to use it within the library.
