British Council Library to reopen in 2014
Lahore: British Foreign Secretary William Hague on Thursday announced to reopen the British Council Library in Lahore in 2014.
Hague made the announcement during a visit to the British Council in Lahore. Punjab-based teachers and trainers engaged in the British Council's Punjab Education and English Language Initiative were also present on occasion.
Speaking on occasion, Hague said, "I am pleased to announce that the British Council will be reopening its library to the public once again in 2014. The library will represent the 21st century, providing access to books, digital resources, online research materials and cultural events. Reopening the facility will give Lahoris access to not only a wide range of reading materials available in the library, but also cultural activities, lectures and much more."
He further said that he had held discussions with Pakistan leadership about mutual interests of both nations. He said the UK would promote cooperation in the education sector and promotion of culture.
The British Council Lahore library had long been considered a cultural and intellectual fixture in the life of Lahoris that was widely missed when it was closed. The decision to reopen the library comes after significant demand from the public to provide much-needed access to books and a space where the next generation of Pakistan could learn in a conducive environment, and engage with others.
The library will serve teachers, entrepreneurs, students and young people through its specialist and general books' collection available to members for borrowing. The library will also have digital material for researchers, and the library space shall also be used for art exhibitions, meetings, lectures and trainings.
The British Council Lahore office has been working extensively over the past decade in setting up research links between universities of Punjab and the UK, running citizenship programmes, training teachers, supporting arts and literature events and conducting international examinations. Reopening the library will once again give the general public an access to the British Council Lahore.
The library is one in a series of planned expansions of the British Council's work in Punjab. More libraries in other cities may be added later on to expand the reach of books to an eager public. The British Council will also be opening a "cultural space" in Karachi next year to help bring together Pakistan's brightest and most creative minds. Daily times
