“November 4th was the second an-niversary of the setting up of Chugh-tai Public Library. It is a group ofdedicated Learning Facilitators thatruns the place. Their commitmentin providing the best possible serviceis remarkable. Ensuring comfortableenvironment; they have attracted abig number of regular users. I wasespecially impressed by a lady whoafter finishing her routine chores,comes every day and goes throughnewspapers and magazines. As regards the organization of read-ing material, it has been done in theproper scientific manner. They havetaken special care in assigning proper

numbering and maintaining the rec-ord of books that have been donatedto the place. An interesting attraction for the us-ers is the Free Service of coffee andtea at the place. There was a group ofyoung readers preparing for an exam.

They seemed to be having a great benefitfrom this particular service.

Overall, it was a wonderful experiencebeing among people who valueknowledge, and the quest of knowledge. Iextend my heart-felt appreciation andbest wishes for these unusual people.”

Dr. Rukhsana S. Chughtai

“I've heard about people who love their country andgive their best to make it abetter place to live. I neverthought of knowing suchpeople in person till the timeI met Dr. Akhtar SohailChughtai and his team. AndI felt so lucky to get a chanceto visit Chughtai Public Li-brary.

A place where anyone cancome and get the pearls of

wisdom. A place which of-fers you a great book collec-tion for everyone. I was

moved to see Dr. Akhtar Sohailand his team's devotion tospread knowledge through li-braries. His vision to encouragereading habit and providingpeople with a comfortable placeto study, read and learn.

This visit to CPL reminds me ofthis great quotation
