Chittagong British Council library

Once Chittagong British Council library boasted a good collection of books. On the cards issued by the library it was labelled as a charity. Hence a good number of students and readers visited the library. Thus the library played an important role that was both educative and charitable.
Unfortunately, of late the institution has switched to money-making ventures such as the IELTS preparation course. It charges exorbitant fees for the aforesaid course. Only the affluent can afford to attend it. In addition, there are some other courses, equally expensive. This certainly goes against the notion of charity. The circulating library seems to have become the secondary concern of the institution.
A good library can play a vital role in moulding the intellectual make-up of a person. Hence the necessity of a well-stocked library can hardly be overemphasised. We hope that the British Council library will uphold its image and remain true to its name.
