The foundation of this magnificent building was laid in 1905 during the British era under the name Queen Victoria Memorial Library. It is not only a rare example of colonial architecture but also represents a precious chapter of the country’s cultural identity. This institution has spread the light of knowledge and awareness and continues to provide academic and intellectual resources to students. In 1974, the historical building was temporarily handed over to the Pakistan National Centre. However, after the closure of the centre, when the building returned to the control of the municipal committee, it was renamed as the Municipal Public Library. Deputy Commissioner Bannu, Muhammad Fahim, renovated this library in 2026 to restore and preserve its historical value. Since then, the library has gained greater recognition, and students regularly visit it for educational tours and learning activities.
