The public library at Kolakombai, which is primarily used by young Dalit children and children of tea estate workers to further their reading habit, is in a state of extreme dereliction. M. Perumal, a tea estate worker here, said that the children, who visited the library, did not even have rest rooms. “The presence of rest rooms are important, especially for female students, who rely on the library and visit it from three estate schools,” he said. The residents complain that the walls of the building are weak, and fear for the safety of the children who visit the library. Another resident said that due to the leaky roofs at the library, rats, and even rat snakes entered.
