Rotary Club gifts water cooler to Dharamsala library

A new water cooler and purifier facility installed by the Rotary Club, Dharamsala Central, at the Kangra District Library, Dharamsala, was inaugurated by Hemraj Bairwa, Deputy Commissioner, Kangra.

Expressing gratitude, librarian Rooma Kumari described the installation as an invaluable addition. “There has never been a shortage of water, but purity remained a concern. This water cooler has finally addressed that issue,” she said. The Deputy Commissioner also honoured Chandershekhar, a philanthropist who played a key role in supporting the initiative.

Senior members of the Rotary Club, including its President and Secretary, attended the function and interacted with library staff. They appreciated the library’s congenial environment and facilities, which include 10 newspapers, 10 magazines, and separate toilets for men and women.

The library today records a daily footfall of nearly 1,000 readers and has a strong membership base of 8,077 cardholders. Open from 6 am to midnight, it operates three spacious reading halls with a collective seating capacity of 400 readers at a time.
