TRANSCRIPT
“November 4th was the second an-niversary of the setting up of Chugh-tai Public Library. It is a group of dedicated Learning Facilitators that runs the place. Their commitment in providing the best possible service is remarkable. Ensuring comfortable environment; they have attracted a big number of regular users. I was especially impressed by a lady who after finishing her routine chores, comes every day and goes through newspapers and magazines. As regards the organization of read-ing material, it has been done in the proper scientific manner. They have taken special care in assigning proper numbering and maintaining the rec-ord of books that have been donated to the place. An interesting attraction for the us-ers is the Free Service of coffee and tea at the place. There was a group of young readers preparing for an exam.
They seemed to be having a great benefit from this particular service. Overall, it was a wonderful experience being among people who value knowledge, and the quest of knowledge. I extend my heart-felt appreciation and best wishes for these unusual people.” Dr. Rukhsana S. Chughtai

She visited CPL on October
4th, 2015. She appreciated
the project by saying:
“I've heard about people who love their country and give their best to make it a better place to live. I never thought of knowing such people in person till the time I met Dr. Akhtar Sohail Chughtai and his team. And I felt so lucky to get a chance to visit Chughtai Public Li-brary.
A place where anyone can come and get the pearls of wisdom. A place which of-fers you a great book collec-tion for everyone. I was
moved to see Dr. Akhtar Sohail and his team's devotion to spread knowledge through li-braries. His vision to encourage reading habit and providing people with a comfortable place to study, read and learn.
This visit to CPL reminds me of this great quotation
'At the moment that we per-suade a child to cross that magic threshold into a library, we change their lives forever for the better. It's an enormous force for good.' Barak Obama
