DIOCESAN COMMUNITY CENTRE LIBRARY - DELHI

  

The DCC Library in the Sacred Heart Cathedral Premises, New Delhi was established in 1973 as a result of the foresight of late Archbishop Angelo Fernandes who realizing the immense good it could provide to the people of all classes, overcame many obstacles to see that it became a faith accomplished. It had a humble beginning and a steady growth. More detailed history...
For those looking for a place of tranquility & relaxation with abundance of food for thought, nothing could excel the DCC Library which is centrally located in a quiet surrounding, in the heart of Delhi. Equipped in the first floor of the Diocesan Community Centre is the Library with adequate space for storing books and a hall divided in two, one serving as a public reading room and the other reading room for the library members which is also used for animation programmes, library committee meetings etc.

Thus, the Library basically comprises three sections:

A wide variety of books...on all topics and interest...
