Kutub Aur Kutub Khanon Ki Tareekh, written by Ashraf Ali. This book contains the history of books and libraries in Urdu. It is an important historical document that describes the history of book writing and libraries.
The story of the evolution of human civilization is not complete without mentioning books and libraries. Even when the mind of man was unfamiliar with the concept of paper and writing, he knew how to convey his apologetic conscience to others by drawing diagonal lines on sand and rocks. Later, he began to transfer his ideas, theories, and achievements to clay tablets and papyrus. The place where these collections of writings and documents were stored was the initial form of the library. Thus, first individual or personal and later public libraries came into existence.
Civilized nations of all ages have recognized the utility and importance of books and libraries. Scholars consider the number of libraries in a country as a measure of its cultural, educational, and industrial development. In our country, library science students need the knowledge material related to books and books. Unfortunately, it is significantly less available in our knowledge centers. This book was written with these issues in mind.
The book “Kutub Aur Kutub Khanon Ki Tareekh” not only fulfills the academic and curricular needs of students of library science but also provides a wealth of information to other scholars on the subject.
The author, Ashraf Ali, has been serving in the Library and Document Preservation Department in Islamabad for a long time. In this book, he has not only gathered the essence of his long academic experience but has also used domestic sources as well as libraries and document centers of foreign countries. I am sure that this book will be helpful for library science students, teachers, and general readers alike.
