British Council Library Karachi

I have lovely memories of spending quality time surrounded by books in the British council library in Islamabad in late 1980s and early 1990s. It was unfortunate that the libraries were closed and a while generation grew without having access to this quality library. I was excited when they announced reopening of British council library in Karachi and Lahore. The membership procedure is simple and details are available online. It's a book lovers heaven which offer quality books and events for all age groups. Is located in a high security zone so the entry is nothing like a good library abroad but once you enter it's a total different world. High quality audio visual arrangements, multiple workstations, quiet areas and an excellent café on-site to enjoy a cup of coffee and snacks with a book in your hand. They have many events every month which even non members can attend after registering. If you are based in Karachi and haven't become a member of British council library then you are missing out Highly recommended

The British Council Library is one of the finest library in my opinion. With a wide range of facilities, one can spend more than 2 hours at this place. There is an on-site Necos with a wide ranged menu. This is a good place to come and study as there is absolute no distraction. The library hosts many events which are interesting. Timings: 10:00 AM to 8:00 PM Personal favorite place to spend my time.

The library lack professional and technical book collection, although the library facilities including digital is up to the international library standards but the space and book collection needs a lot of attention. Being a UK student and having seen some of the top of the world libraries there, British Council library was a huge disappointment for me. Also considering that it's a library, they only have a single a floor being only able to accommodate a handful of readers.

A very decent place where you can have a good time for your study purpose.

The library is fantastic and the facilities offered are state of the art. One thing that i absolutely love about this place is that there seems to be a new addition to the facilities everyday. The fee is yearly and quite nominal. Their book collection is vast and very impressive. The librarians are incredibly professional and highly educated. The only downside (for people looking for pin drop silence) is that it can get a bit noisy at times, as this library encourages social activities.

REPLY TO EMAILS OR PICK UP THE PHONE FOR STUDENTS TO GET INFORMATION. I made the mistake of registering for my exams through British Council. They refused to reply to emails when I requested a refund and didn't assist with my cash in request after asking me to pay it's fees. It's been over 85 days and I've given up trying to contact them. They are blatantly stealing from students. Do NOT register through British Council for ANY of your exams.

I Visit Library today and it was very nice experience. Library was really awesome and the security measures they have were also quite nice. People were humble and supportive. I was there for IELTS speaking test and the examiner (lady) was a very humble too. I like their professional behavior and dealing.

Modern library with all the facilities available for students and visitors.

As a Brit trying to get hold on someone and waited on a call for more than 15 minutes, was still unable to hear a voice on the other side of phone. Disappointing. Guess the service standards change by the country?
