All of you who might have stepped into the hallowed interiors of The David Sassoon Library and Reading Room, and have wondered about its many treasures, this might be a great opportunity to know more about this landmark. To commemorate the 150th anniversary of the library, a series of events were held at the space from last week.

The weeklong itinerary closes with the screening of Hall of Knowledge, a film by Arvind Dave, a member of the library for over 30 years. The film talks of the Library as a heritage structure and space for seeking knowledge, and as a cultural icon of Mumbai.
