Library facilities in Pakistan: -
There are modern library facilities in Karachi, Lahore and Islamabad. American and British libraries are particularly noteworthy. Some public libraries offer modern facilities in addition to standard books. University and college libraries also meet this standard to some extent, but the lack of an annual fund sometimes makes it difficult for them to buy new books. Paper prices have not allowed the quality of libraries in Pakistan to rise. School and college test boxes have become very expensive. Busy life has also taken away the taste of reading books. In large libraries, only the young class is seen on the occasion of examinations. The common man's taste for reading is now almost gone.
Rising newspaper prices have further reduced the tendency of people to read newspapers. The daily newspaper buyer is now content with just one day a week, the Sunday edition. A few years ago, books were available for rent in the morning and evening in every big and small town, which were called neighborhood libraries. Second-hand books and magazines have now taken their place in these libraries. Passengers who buy digests for travel at railway stations should also get special grants for buying books from schools, colleges and universities to spread the light of knowledge only during the journey.
