A
library plays a vital role in providing up-to-date information and
helps keep abreast with the changing times. The Library of G. C.
University Lahore dates back to 1872. The library building was extended
in 1964 and 1999. The library holds a collection of over 148,000 bound
volumes. The library also holds a number of special collection and
archives including Sufi Ghulam Mustafa Tabassum, Dr. Khalid Aftab, Dr.
Ebadat Bralvi, Mirza Maqbool Baig Badakshani, Sardar Karim Nawaz,
Muzaffar Ali Syed, and Prof. Razi Wasti .
Apart
from the central library (Fazal-i-Hussain Library) a new Postgraduate
Library has started functioning in 1999 which is capable of
accommodating nearly 400 readers at a time in modern air conditioned
surroundings. Most of the books in G. C. University Library can be
openly accessed and can be borrowed for two weeks at a time except for
certain rare and valuable books. The Central and Post Graduate library
is fully computerized providing e-mail, Internet and software package
facilities to the students/users.
Photocopying and scanning facilities are provided for reference and journal materials.
The
library remains open six days a week throughout the year. Evening
library service is also available to students. Full information about
