Defintely Al-Akbari will promise to visit the Library, and after browsing 2 books for 2 min will claim to be a Tamil Expert.

vakavaka -- it may take a little time, but i will find out for you. i am worried about giving you incorrect information and you ending up wasting your money. a little while ago, there was an effort to collect money to spruce this place up and with all good intentions, i sent them some money. not sure what happened and didn't hear back. i will ask some of my relatives who know the group that collected money the last time around to find out what happened.
