Thousands of students migrate from their hometowns to Lahore to pursue education in public and private universities. Besides the university libraries, which are only accessible to the enrolled students, there is a significant shortage of free public libraries in Lahore. Students who wish to read books or study in a peaceful environment have limited options. Additionally, public libraries are often located far from residential areas. For example, the Quaid-e-Azam library is not easily accessible to most students.
In some libraries students are not given free access but are instead required to pay a hefty membership fee. Is it too difficult to establish study spaces in every residential area? I am not suggesting that all amenities should be free, but at least libraries should be accessible to every student at no cost.
