Eloor Lending Library is a chain of privately owned public libraries.[1] The first branch was established in 1979 by P Luiz John on Press Club Road, Kochi. Apart from the original location, there are two other active branches in Thiruvananthapuram and Bengaluru.[2][3]
This library is different from other conventional lending libraries, as they charge 10% of the cost of book as reading fee from members.[4]
