The library was founded in 1890 by Lord Connemara, the Governor of Madras in the British colonial government. Conceptualized and designed by H Irving, the then-consulting architect to Government of Madras, the building follows the Indo-Saracenic style of architecture
Director-General Charles Li went to the grand gathering to show his support and also admired the 122 year old heritage of the building.
