As a college student, once me and my friend attempted to enter a library in Lahore. It was probably the Quaid-e-Azam Library. We were bookworms and wanted to explore this massive collection of infinite knowledge. But the security guard ran after us like we were two animals and cursed at us. It was really weird seeing an adult scolding us just because we wanted to enter a library.

Libraries and mosques, they should provide all the education, research, and learning material a growing human being needs in the 21st century, regardless of age or gender. Kids, teens, adults, everyone should have free access to well stocked libraries.

That is actually a great suggestion, a little library in each mosque can make a real difference but to accomplish that the Imam sect needs to be formalized and introduced with modern education and better administration skills. In fact, they should be hired and regulated by the government.

@@rabnawazkhan594 exactly. And women and kids should be encouraged to go to the mosque, rather than forbidden. Mosques are so unsafe nowadays, that even travels can stay there, like they used to in older times. And in many families, women are forbidden from going to the mosque, "cuz only men go there". Which is just sad, because our religion tells us the importance of mosques, and how they are our main place of prayer, learning, and socializing. In some countries, children are allowed to play inside and outside mosques, and learn together.

A superb analysis about libraries in Lahore City. This city which was known a house of knowledge and garden now unfortunately famous for Restaurant and Shopping Mall. How faraway, we are from knowledge and wisdom. Thanks VOA for this valuable survay.

Excellent research. Unfortunately our politicians are not much educated to understand the importance of libraries. Instead of increasing the number chairs and tables for more readers Quaid-e-Azam Library management close the doors for readers without B.A degree, and this is one of the example of incompetence.

Agreed. Libraries are, and should be, the backbone of education and learning. From research, to relaxing and reading, to homework, WHAT CAN'T libraries do?

This video is spot on and was much needed! As a student in the 90s, I got memberships of both the American Center and the British Council's memberships, but the condition and facilities of local libraries was dismal. I even visited a library in Murree, and was shocked to see broken furniture and leaking roofs. Defence Library is a suffocating place. I wish we could have more libraries and bring back the love of books back into our young generation.

بہت ہی تعمیری اور اہم موضوع کی طرف توجہ دلائی گئی ہے ۔ قائد اعظم لائبریری جو کہ عام پبلک کے مطالعہ کے لئے بنائی گئی ہے اکثر سرکاری نوکریوں کے پیاسے سی ایس ایس والے جو عام کتابیں پڑھنے کے شوقین نہیں ہوتے اور بنے بنائے نوٹس ادھر لا کر رٹے لگاتے ہیں جو کہ وہ کسی بھی جگہ لگا سکتے ہیں ساری جگہ ان رٹو طوطوں کے گھِر جانے کی وجہ سے عام ریڈرز کو بڑی مشکلات ہوتی ہیں اگر کوئی صرف کتاب بینی کی غرض سے ادھر چلا جائے ۔

I grew up in Lahore as well. I remember visiting American Center (opposite FJ Medical College) Library often other than my school ones (Crescent Model). Lack of public interest in reading books is another reason for lack of Libraries. I used to visit Feroze Sons Book Store on The Mall during Pakistan visits. Now that is also gone. The decline is in line with where society has gone. Sad

As university student once I went Quaid Azam Library late 90s they let me in but told me that I have to get the membership if I need to sit and reads the books to qualify as member one needs to complete his/her bachelors degree as well since then still same rules are in placed however I ended up with membership of British council and American center libraries few months later but still remember the welcoming smiles of research students sitting in Quaid Azam library as they are appreciating me for my passion of knowledge and books in young age it was priceless experience now I ended up with Kindle, Amazon, Good Reads but missing the connection between culture and heritage which only cultivated with people to people interactions with real life libraries
