British Council Library, Colombo |
|
The British Council Library provides special resources and services to it’s members. Our facilities are carefully planned and selected to support students and teachers with their work, so that they can:
• develop professionally
• have access to the latest books, magazines and other resources
• borrow modern, fun materials to use in classrooms
• join a network of like-minded students / professionals
• improve their own level of English
At the British Council Library, members have access to a wide collection of reference and information services. There are regular sessions conducted by British Council teachers, such as Speaking Club, Story Time, Team Read and Study Skills workshops for the library members.
The British Council Library currently serves 22,000 members in Colombo and 4500 members in Kandy recording the highest number of Library members in the world in the British Council global net work.
With the development of technology even though Libraries are increasingly thought of as a old fashioned method of obtaining data the number of visitors to the Library per day disproves this theory. Customer feedback has shown us that customers still prefer the touch and feel books and have more confidence in the data they obtain from books. We have approximately 1500 visitors per day to the library.
The British Council Library has three different sections. Each section has specific resources and data catering to the requirements of its target audiences.
