- پاکستان کے ثقافتی مرکز کہلانے والے شہر لاہور میں ایک بھی ایسی پبلک لائبریری نہیں ہے جو لائبریری کے جدید مقاصد پر پورا اترتی ہو۔ صباحت زکریا کے اس وی لاگ میں لاہور کی لائبریریوں کی سیر کیجیے اور جانیے کہ لائبریری کتب خانے سے بڑھ کر کیا ہو سکتی ہے۔

آپ کا بہت بہت شکریہ کہ آپ نے اس مسئلہ پر روشنی ڈالی جس کا میری ذات سے گہرا تعلق ہے۔ کیونکہ لاہور جیسے شہر میں کتاب پرھنا بھی سفارش کے بغیر ناممکن ہے۔ کتب بینی کا استحصال جس طرح ہمارے ہاں ہوتا ہے، وہ بیان سے باہر ہے۔ امید ہے کہ آپ کی اس کاوش سے ارباب حل و عقد اس مسئلہ کی طرف نظر کرم فرامئیں گے۔
Arbab hull o akad ko kitaboon main koi dilchspy nahei aur na wo qom ko parah likha daikna cahtey hain. Ta ke koi unn ke brabri per na aaw jaey
کیا عمدہ بات کہی آپ نے بلکل ایسا ہی ہے

Excellent job highlighting Lahore’s libraries and the important issue of giving every citizen free access to public spaces and books. Thank you!
بہت شکریہ اس قوم کو کتاب سے بہت دور رکھا گیا اور فضول قسم کی سوشل میڈیا کی چیزوں میں محو رکھا گیا
As a college student, once me and my friend attempted to enter a library in Lahore. It was probably the Quaid-e-Azam Library. We were bookworms and wanted to explore this massive collection of infinite knowledge. But the security guard ran after us like we were two animals and cursed at us. It was really weird seeing an adult scolding us just because we wanted to enter a library.
True. Security guards are illiterate mostly ,n don't know the importance of libraries
Very shameful
u should have taken ur university student card
@@gbfriend420 being a college student you dont have a university card. And they dont allow any matriculation or intermediate students to enter except universities.
ery true.. I went to bagha-jinnah (lawrance garden) with my friend and tried to enter library there. But i was stopped by the librarian staff because i didnt have membership card. I was just there to visit but still not allowed to enter. Agar kisi ki safarish hoti tou enter hona deta shaid.
بوہت اچھا کام کر رہے ہیں ...ایک اہم مسلے میں بات کی
بہت ہی اچھا لگا اپ کا ٹاپک دیکھ اور سن کر آج سے بہت سال پہلے ہم سعودیہ سے کینیڈا آ گے پاکستان میں بہت ساری کتابیں پڑی تھیں ان میں سے انسئکلوپیڈیا بھی تھے میں نے سوچا کیوں نا لائبریری میں رکھو آ دوں میرا تعلق جہلم جیسے چھوٹے شہر سے ھے ۔ کتابوں کا شوق مجھے اور میرے شوہر کو پاگل پن کی حد تک ھے ۔ ہم کچھ کتابیں وہی چھوڑ آئے اور آدھی سے زیادہ ساتھ لائے ۔ میرے شوہر نے بولا کہڑے جوتے دنیا کے ہر حصے میں مل جاتے ہیں مگر کتاب مشکل سے ملے گی وہ بھی اردو کی ۔ میرے گھر میں کافی بڑی لائبریری ھے ۔ آج بھی یہ شوق برقرار ھے ۔ پاکستان جاتے ھیں تو باقی شاپینگ برائے نام ہوتی ھے مگر آتے ہوئے دو تین ڈبے کتابوں کے ہوتے ھیں ۔ بد قسمتی سے ہماری قوم کو یہ شوق برائے نام ھے ۔
کتابوں نے مجھے ہر طرح امیر کردیا.... آپ نے بہت خوبصورت گفتگو کی ہے.... میں نے بچپن میں خود ایک لائبریری قائم کی تھی... شکریہ... آفتاب عالم خان بینکاک

Thanks for highlighting the real issues. These are the issues we need to resolve, not the horse trading, NRO or Fixed Elections and then appeals on appeals. These libraries can give us the right generation to develop this country in real meaning.
Election bhi na houn!!!!!???? To phir kia ho dictatorship?
@@aaashiq9265 Jahan awam k vote se elected ghatiya zameer waly politicians zameer baich den esy elections se acha hai ap log fauji ko brdasht krlo.
Agreed. Aise to nhi humari awam k dimagh pe taale lge gue hain. Book reading is not part of our culturw. Whenever i have tried to recommend books to my friends and shared to them in form of ebooks, they do not even read that. Bs masala wale news program pe hi anhasar krna pasand he humare logo ko
No need to resolve
Libraries and mosques, they should provide all the education, research, and learning material a growing human being needs in the 21st century, regardless of age or gender. Kids, teens, adults, everyone should have free access to well stocked libraries.
That is actually a great suggestion, a little library in each mosque can make a real difference but to accomplish that the Imam sect needs to be formalized and introduced with modern education and better administration skills. In fact, they should be hired and regulated by the government.
@@rabnawazkhan594 exactly. And women and kids should be encouraged to go to the mosque, rather than forbidden. Mosques are so unsafe nowadays, that even travels can stay there, like they used to in older times. And in many families, women are forbidden from going to the mosque, "cuz only men go there". Which is just sad, because our religion tells us the importance of mosques, and how they are our main place of prayer, learning, and socializing. In some countries, children are allowed to play inside and outside mosques, and learn together.
First pay tax and then demand all these
@@Louder111 We pay enough in taxes, both directly, indirectly and via inflation, and we pay enough in charity to these Masjid committees.
Rather then telling us to pay taxes, make your government borrow less on contracts that compromise the country's soveriegnty and demand the government to reduce its artificial reliance on oil from Arab nations that heavily impact our import bill and creat CAD.
Lol what about churches in Pakistan?
We need to raise this concern so deserving people can access libraries to gain knowledge
Library is for all. Bye the way, who is deserving?
A superb analysis about libraries in Lahore City. This city which was known a house of knowledge and garden now unfortunately famous for Restaurant and Shopping Mall. How faraway, we are from knowledge and wisdom.
Thanks VOA for this valuable survay.
Thank you so much for this. My heart cried to see such a state of Lahore. Not just the libraries. It used to be the hub of culture and intellect.
ye na to kabhi intellect aur culture ka hub tha na he poray Pakistan ma koi aisi jagah ha. han khuch log ilm hasil kar kay apnay mulk aur ilaqay ka naam roshan kartay hai, lekin aisay loog hamary ha bohat kam hain dunya kay muqablay ma.
Excellent research. Unfortunately our politicians are not much educated to understand the importance of libraries. Instead of increasing the number chairs and tables for more readers Quaid-e-Azam Library management close the doors for readers without B.A degree, and this is one of the example of incompetence.
Agreed. Libraries are, and should be, the backbone of education and learning. From research, to relaxing and reading, to homework, WHAT CAN'T libraries do?
بہت ہی تعمیری اور اہم موضوع کی طرف توجہ دلائی گئی ہے ۔ قائد اعظم لائبریری جو کہ عام پبلک کے مطالعہ کے لئے بنائی گئی ہے اکثر سرکاری نوکریوں کے پیاسے سی ایس ایس والے جو عام کتابیں پڑھنے کے شوقین نہیں ہوتے اور بنے بنائے نوٹس ادھر لا کر رٹے لگاتے ہیں جو کہ وہ کسی بھی جگہ لگا سکتے ہیں ساری جگہ ان رٹو طوطوں کے گھِر جانے کی وجہ سے عام ریڈرز کو بڑی مشکلات ہوتی ہیں اگر کوئی صرف کتاب بینی کی غرض سے ادھر چلا جائے ۔
This video is spot on and was much needed! As a student in the 90s, I got memberships of both the American Center and the British Council's memberships, but the condition and facilities of local libraries was dismal. I even visited a library in Murree, and was shocked to see broken furniture and leaking roofs. Defence Library is a suffocating place. I wish we could have more libraries and bring back the love of books back into our young generation.
I live in a suburb around Toronto, and it has more than 5 libraries with swimming, town halls and other facilities

I went to Quaid e azam library and they didn't let me enter there and tell the same reason
Its really discouraging for me as a 18 year boy

You are absolutely right that the person who wants to learn , is not given the opportunity as his/her basic human right.

Thanks for sharing this deplorable condition of public libraries in a city like Lahore what happened to Lahorians madam,I am a book lover and have a smart collection of books,I think I learnt much from reading books, newspapers, magazines and journals in different libraries of my educational institutions.Although Net is flooded with variety of new knowledge but the one we get from books is permanent and helps in our intellectual grooming,hope our new generation will reflect on it.
ایک اہم ایشو کے بارے میں آپ نے آواز اٹھائی ہے ۔ آپ بالکل ٹھیک کہہ رہیں ہیں ۔
There are two public libraries in rahim Yar Khan. One of them is E. Library. Both are Air conditioned and well maintained.

آپ کا بہت شکریہ توجہ دلانے کا اللہ پاک کرے کہ ہمارے حکمرانوں کو اس چیز کا خیال آ جائے علم ہر عام آدمی کے لیے ہوتا ہے

Only CSS relevant books available ,but for research book are not compatible and relevant.even in universities books are not adequate for research.library should be open 24/7 with modern book or updated books especially engineering books.Any highlighted very good topic.
Thanks for highlighting the issues...
Mam you have done superb job by highlighting this . 👏

میں قائد اعظم لائبریری کی ممبر رہی ہوں، آپ نے بالکل درست تجزیہ پیش کیا ہے۔
بہت شکریہ. میرے ساتھ خود یہ واقع پیش آیا ہے اور بہت افسوس ہوا میں ایبٹ آباد سے وہاں گیا ہوا تھا ٹیسٹ کی تیاری کر رہا تھا لیکن کتابیں پڑھنا میرا شوق ہے اور افسوس یہاں داخل نہیں ہو سکا 💔💔
one if the best vlog i ever watched
Well, this is a big issue in here Lahore. I am living here since my childhood. I am 24 years old. I never visited a single library here. Thank you for showing us the right way to go to the public library and Kitab Ghar in Ichra.
I will visit there soon. Mostly I used google or pdf files for reading the books. I also purchased books from Urdu Bazar. I would love to go to Public Library. Thank you so much for showing us and raising this serious issue.
You are doing great job. That's the issue to be highlighted.,👍👍👍
I had similar experiences accessing public libraries in Pakistan. It’s in stark comparison to western countries like US or Canada. Very well made report Sabahat
Nice effort and realistic portrayal of libraries in Lahore.

Thought provoking... got to visit Kitab Gher.
As university student once I went Quaid Azam Library late 90s they let me in but told me that I have to get the membership if I need to sit and reads the books to qualify as member one needs to complete his/her bachelors degree as well since then still same rules are in placed however I ended up with membership of British council and American center libraries few months later but still remember the welcoming smiles of research students sitting in Quaid Azam library as they are appreciating me for my passion of knowledge and books in young age it was priceless experience now I ended up with Kindle, Amazon, Good Reads but missing the connection between culture and heritage which only cultivated with people to people interactions with real life libraries
Very nice analysis madam. Keep it up
شکریہ ۔
آپ نے ہمیں آئینہ دکھا دیا۔شاید اس سے ہمارے سدھرنے کی کوئی صورت پیدا ہوسکے۔

Strongly agree !!!! 👍
As there's no such thing here , even if there is such libraries then obviously that has to be quite expensive just have to pay the heavy amount for having the membership card.
Anyway! I truly wish there should be if not many but few libraries where anyone can reach and spend few hours reading. My daughter is so fond of reading at the age of 8 yr , she's 14 now . She's creative, good at voice over, reading, writing, shows interest in calligraphy, sketches, painting, photography...... and I hope in future we must have libraries where every student every child anyone of any age can have access to read and learn with NO restrictions!!!!
Well researched & informative video. Must make more content like this to create awareness. Appeal to govt. to contribute for public libraries & increase their no. Authorities should take this matter seriously & promote libraries to encourage reading culture.
Elite class of Pakistan can donate millions easily to establish local libraries but who cares.
محترم صباحت ہم آپ کے ممنون ہیں آپ کا بہت شکریہ کہ آپ نے اس معاملہ کو اُجاگر کیا اور پر امید ہیں کہ حکومت کی طرف سے اس پر کارروائی کی جائے گی ۔
bahoot achi video hy

Thank you for highlighting the unspoken issues of Lahore
I used to visit American centre Library Islamabad in 80s. That was a breath of fresh air for Rawalpindi/ Islamabad literary circles and public. But unfortunately, that was closed after law and order situation in the country.
Is it still closed?
I have great memories of the British Council Library in Islamabad in the 90s.

Great information thanks
good video, quality content. thank you from Oslo, Norway.
You have covered this whole problem quite rightly. it is very difficult for us teenagers and youngsters to enter a library and even if we do the lack of modern resources drive us away.
Great video..i have spent 10 years in libraries in dif cities of pakistan only 2 were free.
Reminded me of my college life where I used university card to get membership of Quaideazam library but the fact that almost 90 percent of people who come to quaide azam library are css candidates is 100 percent true...issuing a book from library was hell of a job.. I did went thr for 2 months ..but u r right libraries sub ke liye hone chahiyee
When I watch old PTV dramas, read classic poetry and go to cultural rich places in Lahore, I found contemporary lahore an alien space with the soothing past turning to loud n noisy ppl n places.
Asal may to hamari tamam hakomatain ya hi chati hain k ye qoum jahil hi rahe to accha ha.
I grew up in Lahore as well. I remember visiting American Center (opposite FJ Medical College) Library often other than my school ones (Crescent Model). Lack of public interest in reading books is another reason for lack of Libraries. I used to visit Feroze Sons Book Store on The Mall during Pakistan visits. Now that is also gone. The decline is in line with where society has gone. Sad
I disagree. I think if we invested a little more in libraries and less in restaurants we'll find out that there's a huge number of people who really enjoy reading but don't have the right means. ALSO HI! A FELLOW OLD-CRESCENTARIAN HERE!
Thanks to highlight this issue ❤
this video is so well articulated!
