You don't have to be a bookworm to fall in love with the library. Membership is absolutely free and it's just a click away. The facility located at the Education City offers hundreds of thousands of materials for educational and leisure reading across all genres, including print books, heritage items, e-journals, ebooks, audio books, magazines, newspapers, and multimedia resources.
