He also said that when former Chief Minister M Karunanidhi inaugurated the Chennai Book Fair in 2007 he made the announcement that a new world class library will be constructed and Anna centenary library was constructed but now owing to local body elections he could not make any new announcement but hinted that after the conclusion of local body elections public can expect a big announcement.

Explaining the importance of books, Stalin said that it was Dravidar Kazhagam which opened the doors of knowledge for the oppressed classes by printing books on self respect and distributing them to the public. "Periyar described books as his descendents, former Chief Minister C N Annadurai asked people to set up libraries in their houses and Karunanidhi asked people to see the world through the books", added Stalin.
