The book store has a huge collection of world’s literature, classics and regional Indian literature in many languages including Hindi ,Gujarati,Marathi and Urdu.

@Pratik_89 بہت اچھا لگا دیکھ کر کتاب خانہ۔ جب سے انٹرنیٹ اور موبائل میں جدت آئی ہے کتابیں پڑھنا بہت کم ہو گئی ہیں اور کتاب خانے بھی۔ ہمارا لڑکپن بہت اچھا تھا کتابوں کے ساتھ مشغول رہتے تھے۔ آج کل تو لڑکے لڑکیاں موبائل میں فضول لگے رہتے ہیں اکثریت ۔
