I have visited many libraries but this is by far the most resourceful. It has news papers of dawn since partition. They are in process of digitalization of news papers. You can also find old jang news papers. Express newspaper after 2003. It is has annual and lifetime membership available as well. The parking is good. Open reading area has lots of daily news papers. You can just walk in and read them. But in order to get digital copy you have to pay. But reading them there is free of charge.

Keen about reading outside but worried about noise?This a perfect place for you.Govt. Punjab Public Library has all the Books needed for research, exams and general knowledge with mild ambiance.Hungry?Cafeteria inside Library is a tasteful treat if youre not a diet conscious, they serve snacks and some other light but fried food.This place is a must visit if youre in Lahore.This place is not just limited to book readers, it could be visited also as a historic building.but be sure to not disturb readers with noises.yes you cant party here neither picnic.But you can enjoy the endless and noise less day with book and walk.

The library began operations in the Baradari Wazir Khan, an imperial building built by Nawab Wazir Khan, the governor of Lahore, during Emperor Shahjahan’s reign with the assistance of the government of the Punjab. Its purpose is to be a public library and reading room.Other library blocks were built in 1939, and a block housing the auditorium and Bait-ul-Quran section was constructed in 1968 and inaugurated by General Mohammad Musa, then governor of West Pakistan.Govt. Punjab Public Library, Lahore, lies in the heart of the city of Lahore at Library Road near the Lahore museum, off Shahrah-e-Quaid-e-Azam. It is surrounded by educational institutions and the Punjab University (Old Campus). The commercial centre of Anarkali, the main offices of the Metropolitan Corporation Lahore (Town Hall) and the provincial government offices, i.e., the Civil Secretariat, are a short distance from this building.

One of the best facility for students who need space for reading and learning. No need for any kind of security fee and registration unless you want to issue a book from library, one can sits and read without any inconvinienc.
