The largest and the oldest library of Bahawalpur. It is a government library. It is a good asset for students. It is in the heart of city. Its structure gives the feel of city of Nawabs, Bahawalpur. Almost all types of books are available. It is closed now a days but, will be opened soon. You can find newspapers of old times like 1947 here. Although, it needs some improvements, it is the best in city. To fulfil your need of knowledge, just come and enjoy.

With an imposing architecture of Italian variety, the red-brick structure of Bahawalpur Central Library is considered as the city’s identity – a relic of its glorious culture.The well-stocked library is counted among the most emblematic of the city’s monuments. The foundation stone of the library building was laid on March 8, 1924 by Sir Rufus Daniel Isaacs, then the Viceroy and Governor General of India on the eve of coronation of the Nawab of Bahawalpur State, Nawab Sir Sadiq Muhammad Khan Khamis Abbasi.
