ASB LIBRARY
The Asiatic Society maintains a library of very selective nature. Its collections include books, journals, manuscripts and other research materials. Because of its specialized nature the library has become a resource and reference centre for the academics and researchers. Total collections now stand around 25,000. Members of the Society, students and researchers can use the library. Non-members need to take prior permission to use the library. Members, researchers, academics and readers can get the necessary pages of the books and journals photocopied, if they want, at minimum cost in the library. Only the members can borrow books from the library but rare books are not issued. Besides Asiatic Society of Bangladesh has a journal exchange program with renowned local and international organizations. Daily newspapers are served in the library for the readers.
