GPL Multan Services For Members

They also offer free online drive (500 MB) to their members to save their files online. Which is according to my experience is useless because it is mostly stay offline & the security is not that much high that you can save any important file. You can also check which books have been issued, fee renewal dates, and read books online from their official website as well.

Almost every book is available. You should visit the library if you are living in Multan. I am the member of the library form past four years and I considered it a masterpiece for the people of South Punjab.

Check and balances are very strict. Lift facility is also available only for old citizens. Prayer rooms also situated on the first floor. Parking facility is available for everyone, it was free in the starting now charges between 20-50 pkr.
