Kanagasabai Mudalithambi Chellappah (24 February 1896 – 24 April 1958), (Tamil: கனகசபை முதலித்தம்பி செல்லப்பா) was a Sri Lankan judicial officer, philanthropist, Tamil and Sinhala linguist scholar who was the pioneer of free library movement in Sri Lanka and laid the foundation for building the Jaffna Public Library. In 1933, he started the first library in Jaffna, through lending books from his home in Puttur, Sri Lanka. This eventually blossomed into the establishment of the Jaffna Public Library, which was “regarded as among the most remarkable in South Asia and housed about 97,000 books, magazines and old news papers, many of them rare.”
