The green building concept incorporates an art gallery, language lab, and auditorium, catering to diverse age groups and interests.
The library's basement will serve as parking, accommodating 25 four-wheelers and 41 two-wheelers. The ground floor will feature a reception, Braille section, exhibition area, administrative section, and toilets. On the first floor, a multipurpose and senior citizens' section will be situated, along with an office space and toilets.
The second floor will house a seminar hall, reading section, and a green-roof seating area with a kitchen and cafeteria. The third floor will contain an e-library and a reading area, while the fourth floor will house an art gallery. The fifth floor will have classrooms suitable for preparing for competitive exams.
With its combination of traditional library facilities and modern learning infrastructure, the Sanpada Central Library is expected to become an essential public space for students, senior citizens, readers, artists, and residents seeking knowledge and cultural activities.
