The digital library and the renovated reference section of EPL were inaugurated on Saturday.
The more than 150-year-old Ernakulam Public Library (EPL) has joined the prestigious National Digital Library of India (NDLI), a digital repository of learning resources from across the country and abroad.
NDLI is a National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT) Project developed by the Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur under the aegis of the Ministry of Human Resource Development.
EPL has started the process of digitization with the digital archiving of newspaper reports on the library, bulletins, souvenirs, past events conducted by the library and in-house publications.

Over the decades, the Anglo-Indian Grand Christmas Ball in Chennai has stepped into many venues, from Railway enclaves to private halls. It has left an indelible mark on some of these venues, Faiz Mahal and Shiraz Hall, both in Egmore, counted among them. This Christmas Day (December 25), Faiz Mahal is playing host to yet another Grand Christmas Ball. The soiree is organised by Anglo-Indians but by no means restricted to them. In these times of dwindling Anglo-Indian presence even in enclaves with a distinctive Anglo-Indian flavour, this event signifies an effort to preserve a cultural tradition that has enriched Chennai
