In 1856 A.D., a library by the name of ‘Gungrahak Mandali’ stared off as one room affair in an English school during the British times. Later on in 1864 A.D., it shifted to its own independent building in Kothi compound area. From 1893 A.D. onwards, this library functioned from the grand building Jubilee Garden. In 1964, it was rechristened as Lang Library in memory of Colonel Lang. Political Agent of kathiawar, it is the oldest library in saurashtra. The building housing the library is an important architectural monument of its time. It is built in Victorian Style with Gothic arches out of the local sand stone.
