The collection comprises well over 60,000 volumes, though only a tiny fraction of these are on display. The Saraswathi Mahal library started as a royal library for the private pleasure of the Nayak Kings of Thanjavur who ruled 1535 - 1675 AD.

Its official name of the Library was changed to The Thanjavur Maharaja Serfoji's Sarasvati Mahal Library in honour of the great royal Maratha patron. Its logo has goddess Saraswathi in the centre with a circular border in which ‘Saraswathi Mahal’ written in Tamil, Devanagari and English and ‘Thanjavur’ in Tamil. Below this on a white border ‘Katranaithu Urum Arivu’ in Tamil meaning ‘More the Learning More the Knowledge’.
