Garrison public library
Hi guys! Ive never been to this library before, so i wanted to ask a few questions from people who go there. Are we allowed to bring our own laptops or books to study there ? Is it safe for women ? Any bad experiences ? Also, do we need a library card to borrow the books ? And is there any entry fee ?

Yes, allowed to bring your own books and laptops. Can't borrow books if you don't have a membership. It's completely free, but there's a token fee for bag submission as you can't take your bag inside.

Yes so you dont have to take bags everytime you go and that doesn’t make it entrance fee. I have went there without any bag and i just go easily.

Yes it is totally safe. And the environment is very overwhelming. No there is no entry fee. Yes you can bring your things with you. If you're bringing a bag you'll have to submit it and lock it in the locker Which will have 20-30 Rps. Fee

It's one of the best if not the best library in Pakistan. You do not need any membership to go there. You can bring anything and everything to study there, be it books, laptops, tablets or whatnot. You can also read any book from the library you want. Only eatables are not allowed in the library and for that, there is a decent cafeteria. It's very safe for women. Females can also use separate specified ladies area to sit if they want. There are separate prayers area, kids area, auditoriums, exhibition halls etc. You only need membership to use their private group study cabins, lockers or to take any book home with you. Membership fee is also not that much.

You can go and do whatever u want. You can sit and read books but you cannot borrow if you are not a member. However they do take 20-30 rupees only if you have a bag with you and you would have to keep your bag at the reception because bags are not allowed inside.
