The Acquisition of the Books
The books are received from two sources. Either they have been purchased or have been presented by a donor. Anyone can donate books to the library.
If the books are found useful and of academic/spiritual value, they will be accepted and entered in the catalogue. The remaining books will be returned to the donor. But if the donor does not desire to accept them back (or for any other reason) such books will be sent to some other library, any time after a month. Thousands of such books have been given to other gyanbhandars.
