DHAKA, Dec 10, 2018 (BSS) – The British Council in collaboration with
Bangladesh Bank has set up a ‘British Council Library Corner’ at the
Bangladesh Bank’s own library space.

From now on, Employees of Bangladesh Bank and their family members will
be able to enjoy these books at their convenience in the library, a British
Council press release said.

Md Mahbubar Rahman Khan, General Manager, Bangladesh Bank Library and
Sebastian Pearce, Director, Examination, British Council were present signed
an agreement on behalf of their respective organisations.

The library houses the latest award-winning collections of UK’s best
titles. In order to spread these services and to cater larger number of
readers, the British Council Library and Cultural Centre has brought the
concept of satellite libraries.

The Bangladesh Bank Library corner consists of books on language,
fiction, literature and a wonderful collection for the young readers.

Fazle Kabir, Governor, Bangladesh Bank, officially opened the corner for
the readers with his speech thereafter.

“The British Council expanded its friendship to Bangladesh Bank with
this. There are books which you only get to see at the British Council
Library and they introduce you to diverse knowledge. It’s really amazing,”
the governor said.

Sebastian Pearce, Director, Examination, British Council stated, “We are
really happy to be a part of the Bangladesh Bank family. And we believe, this
is just one of the many journeys we started with you. The British Council
looks forward from here and wishes you all to dive into the world of books.”
