The members’ library: printed books, e-books and audio books
71 printed books to borrow, 31 e-books to read online and 8 audio books, in English and Urdu: philosophy, political history, South Asia, fiction and business. Every book has its own page with a summary; members borrow the printed copy, read the e-book or listen to the audio book from there.
Three ways to read
Hard copies on the shelf in Hall 2. Ask from your account, collect at the desk and keep a book for fourteen days.
Read in the browser on your phone or laptop, at the space or at home. Pages turn like paper, it remembers your place, and you can bookmark, highlight and make notes. Urdu books turn right to left.
Listen in the browser, with the screen off if you like. It remembers where you stopped, and has playback speed and a sleep timer.
Urdu classics to read online
Allama Iqbal’s poetry, the novels of Deputy Nazir Ahmad and Patras Bukhari’s essays, set in Nastaliq and turning right to left like a printed Urdu book.
The catalogue is open to everyone; borrowing, reading and listening come with every membership. See the plans →
