Vijay Merchant Children's Library

This unique facility for children is the brainchild of Mr. Vijay Merchant, former Indian Test cricketer, former CCI President and eminent philanthropist. It was established in 1980 with the aim of inculcating a reading habit in children and furthering their intellectual development at a tender age. This library has over 25,000 books suitably sorted for children of all age groups up to eighteen. The books are updated on a regular basis with a separate section for the “new arrivals”.

Children in the age group of 8-14 may enrich themselves through a wide range of encyclopedia series and a collection of National Geographic magazines. There are picture books, Ladybird series, all popular comics, mystery fiction to name a few and a dedicated “classics” section. In addition, the library has a separate collection for baby sitters. The facility is open to the children of members at a nominal charge of Rs 150/- per annum.

Location : 4th floor Stadium House (above the administrative office)

  • Please note that there is a golf cart available to ferry members from the main car park to the office building to make the library more easily accessible.
