Amazing facility. Needs better management.

The library is known as the The White House Of Pakistan. The library is a masterpiece of Greek Architecture. This building is like an imperial icon of the Lahore. Daily many students, book-lovers, lawyers, public officers visit this prestigious library to gain knowledge and the atmosphere of the library makes one fall in love with the building.

The library comprises of 125,000 books. The sitting arrangement is good and you can also borrow books if you are a member.

Library at least should have 1 day trail entry. How would I know if have to pay for permanent membership or not. In countries like ours libraries should have open access. You can take CNIC as security pass for entry. But only members can take book with them.

The library looks really beautiful from the outside. A florescent pearl illuminating both the hearts and eyes. I will revisit this review as i get a chance to go inside the library.

Quaid e Azam library is one of the most iconic Library in Lahore located in Bagh e Jinnah. It is famous for for bridal photoshoot. It is a beautiful piece of architecture in Lahore.

This library is so peaceful from outside as wel as from inside tht one feels sleepy or drowsy.staff is stern and typical.books are in amazing range.

Nice place to study but mangment needs to be improved. One more drawback is the seating capacity in Jinnah hall, maybe majorly due to social distancing.

Neat and clean environment with educated people, just mess of tik tokers are spreading negative impact

All studets took sigh a relief after a long period of closure of educational institutions..Great to see cooperative attitude of staff for implementing SOPs at Quid-eAzam library..Hope all other institutions would also make such study atmosphere for students and keep emphasising and implemting preventive measures vis-a-vis Covid-19...

Awesome Place! You can grab your own books & read it with open heart.

Proud to be the part of this renown institution. The members of library treat us good. It is just like my second home.

Good library best location

This is a very historical place named after Jinnah the founder of Islamic Republic of Pakistan. Apart from historical it is also the largest library of the Lahore. Beautiful building and located on the most beautiful road of Lahore, the Mall road. Very good place for intellectuals, professors,students, teachers and for everyone. Go and gain some knowledge.

Rude behaviour of staff. Only members allowed entry into the library. Otherwise setup is good. Large number of resources available.

The Quaid-e-Azam Library is a public library in located within the Bagh-e-Jinnah in Lahore, Punjab, Pakistan. The library was constructed in the mid 19th century during the British Raj compromises of Victorian era Lawrence and Montgomery Halls. The library has a collection of 125,000 books in English, Urdu, Arabic and Persian.The complex includes two halls, the first was built in memory of John Laird Mair Lawrence, 1st Baron Lawrence, and the second in memory of Robert Montgomery Martin. It was built in 1866 at the initial cost of Rs.108,000, contributed by the Punjab Chiefs and leading Lahore citizens. The conformity of style with the earlier building was ensured by G. Stone who, in order to present a single unified whole, linked the space between the two halls by a covered corridor. a park previously known as Lawrence Gardens.The original curved roof of the Montgomery Hall was disassembled and substituted in 1875 with a teak floor for singing and dancing. The roof was coated, stimulated and corrugated with a decorative carved wooden cling stunningly painted in Egyptian and Italian patterns and fitted with glass windows. On May 1, 1878, the services of the halls, library and the reading room officially got the name of “Lahore and Mian Mir Institute.” The amenities, particularly the elitism of the place, turned it into a club where the people started getting registered as members. The name was changed to “Lahore Gymkhana Club” on January 23, 1906.In January 1972, the Lahore Gymkhana Club was shifted to Upper Mall and the building became an academy for administrative training by the government of Pakistan only to on May 17, 1981, renovation of the building was started to turn it into a public library. On December 25, 1984, the then President General Muhammad Zia-ul-Haq officially inaugurated the Quaid-e-Azam Library.

It is the best and largest library in Lahore. It is beautifully constructed. There is a large collection of books relating to almost every field of life. It is the best option for students as it provides a huge variety of books and a peaceful environment as well as. But those who want to visit and join are required to get a membership in a very reasonable amount. There are separate toilets and praying areas for males and females. Its also the best place for group study. Recommended!

Its quite calm and refreshing place for true readers.

Quaid-e-Azam Library is truly known as White House of Pakistan, is mainly a public library located within Bagh-e-Jinnah. The Library was constructed in the mid-19th century along the garden which was named as Lawrence garden that times. The building compromises on the beautiful composite of Victorian and Greek architecture.

Fantastic with great environment of study and services provided.

Beautiful and historical place in Lahore. Its a cozy place specially students/Youngsters attraction . Actually its a library but most of the people come here for relax , jogging and Gup Shup.

Veru beautiful, historical place and student attractionLibraries have always played an important role in the development of nations. If we go through the history of prosperous and developed countries then we shall come to know that they have achieved their goals by developing and promoting culture of libraries. Libraries are the huge source of knowledge by which a person can get an enlightening improvement and can performs a progressive role for the success of nation.According to me all citizen of Pakistan should gain benefits by using libraries, so that they can increase their knowledge with leads them to become highly literate persons. With all this treasure of information and by doing hard work we can take our beloved country Pakistan up to the peak level of success. For this I always put up my best efforts to promote and develop libraries in Pakistan. I am very hopeful that by the grace of Almighty Allah the time is near when we all will proudly say that Pakistan is the best developed country on all over the globe.

I visit every Tuesday for class conducted by QHS. Do visit this place for the enlightenment of your body and soul.

Nice place.

A very great place but pathetic logic of the management that only post graduate people can enter inside and they have to show the documentation before enrolling or entering inside. If they want to monitories then there are plenty other ways to do that. I live abroad and me and my wife went to pakistan when I visited this library but unfortunately coz of their idiot logic behind this rule we couldn’t be able to enter inside as we were not carrying our degrees along.

Awesome atmosphere , amazing old Victorian style building

They don’t let you enter library unless you are registered, and for registration you need your university transcript i guess. Quaid e azam library building is more likely used for having a bridal shoot here.

Very good library, good environment, huge collection of books.

Very good library,famous for css candidates

Excellent Library with excellent location and environment for studies. It used to be considered the best place to prepare for the CSS exams due to its calm environment.

I went there twice and was turned away for one reason or another. One time I was told it was only for those who have a valid student card of a university (I was a college student at that time). Other time I was told only CSS aspirants are allowed in. The admin was highly untrained, unprofessional and non-cooperative. Poor experience.
