THIS refers to the letter ‘Quetta library’ (July 15). I am a student preparing for the law admission test (LAT). I regularly go to the Quaid-i-Azam library in the early morning at 7.00 where I and my friends have to wait for an hour till the library opens at 8.00am so that we may capture space there.

It is suggested that the library should not enroll more members, for there is a single hall for the students who are disturbed owing to overcrowded space. On the other hand, a large number of students are forced to sit on the floor to study because of lack of space.

It would be better if the provincial government built more libraries in Quetta instead of registering more members.
