The above branch came into existence in 2008. Marathi Speaking residents of Tarnaka and around were finding it very difficult to have Marathi literatures at hand as the head office was in Koti area adjacent to Women’s College. Hence, it was housed in Mr. Vinay Buche’s house , in Nagarjuna Nagar. It was operated till 2015 and then we had to find a new premises. I being a founder secretary of Tarnaka welfare Association requested the President during one of the foundation day functions, to accommodate our Granthalaya branch in the TWA building, to which he immediately obliged. Now as the branch is in Tarnaka, it serves not only the Marathi literary loving residents of Tarnaka, but also those who are in and around our area.
