Nagaland State Library is a Metropolitan Library in Kohima, Nagaland, India. It is located in Police Reserve Hill on the road leading to Jotsoma.[1][2]
History[edit | edit source]
Nagaland State Library was established in 1981 under the Nagaland Government's Department of Arts & Culture.[2][3][4]
In 2016-17 the library received ₹1,75,48,000 (over ₹17 million) under the National Mission on Libraries (NML) for upgradation, subscription for e-journals and e-books, and procurement of reading resources, and other programmes.[5][6] By 2019 the library had a collection of more than 58,000 books with 3796 registered members. The library had 17 people employed which was much lesser than the required staff and experts to manage it.[2]
