Anna Library to be converted into Super Speciality Paediatric Hospital
The Tamil Nadu Chief Minister Jayalalithaa said in a statement on Wednesday that a super specialty hospital for children had not been established any where in the country so far.
Her government had earlier decided to convert the new Assembly Complex as a medical college and a super specialty hospital.
Giving reasons for shifting the Anna Centenary library, constructed as part of the centenary celebrations of the DMK founder late C.N. Annadurai three years ago, Ms. Jayalalithaa said the new knowledge centre would be nearer to the Connemara and National Book Libraries and it would be appropriate to shift the modern library to the new complex.
The library was inaugurated on September 15, 2010 by the then Chief Minister M. Karunanidhi. It can accommodate 1,250 persons. One of the largest libraries in the country, the facility included besides a huge collection of books in different languages and journals, an auditorium, a Braille section, an amphitheatre and a food court. The 9-storey building was constructed at a cost of Rs.172.17 crore.
