About:<\/strong>\u00a0Goa State Central Library is also popular as the Krishnadas Shama Central Library. Krishnadas, a 16th-century Konkani scholar, is honored for his contributions to the field of literature with the dedication of the six-floor library. This library from 1832, is the oldest public library in the country. It is, however, equipped with modern facilities and advanced technology to ease out the process of lending books for the readers who can choose from the stunning collection of over a quarter of a million books.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Its pre-1961 (Portuguese Goa) collection consists mainly of books and journals in Portuguese, French, Latin, English and a few books in local languages like Konkani and Marathi. Some 40,000 volumes date back to the pre-1961 era.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Among other valuable texts, the Library holds incomplete collections of nineteenth and early twentieth century newspapers in Marathi, Konkani, English and Portuguese, published from Goa and from Bombay. Many of these are in a state of advanced disrepair.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
