CU's central library needs renovation

September 23, 2024 00:00:00


The Chittagong University library is one of the largest libraries in Bangladesh, housing more than four million books. Unfortunately, many of these books are covered in dust and left in poor condition. Students often cannot find the books they need because there is no proper catalogue in place. The cyber centre is malfunctioning, and access to important sections of the library is restricted. Additionally, students are not allowed to bring in their own books, further limiting their study options.

The washrooms are unhygienic and filled with germs, while the entire library suffers from a damp, unhealthy environment. To make matters worse, there is no opportunity to study in the library after the evening. As a result, approximately 98 per cent of the university's students avoid using the library.

The library plays a crucial role in supporting the development and progress of the university. Therefore, I humbly request the authorities to undertake the necessary renovation as soon as possible.
