In this weekend I got the chance to visit the British council - Srilanka which is situated in Colombo 03.
[British Council Location]
(https://maps.app.goo.gl/DHYJJZjy5q3hoErX7).

The British Council of srilanka provides many services via online as well as through the centers islandwide. I visited their main branch yesterday with my Cousin brother and his two little sons. They are used to refer the British council library every weekend and I also joined them this week.

There are English classes and courses conducted by the B.C . Also it holds the IELTS and Cambridge Qualification exams. It has a really good library open to members and public both. The library has a huge collection of books and magazines. It's a nice place to read and relax.

I selected these 3 books. Some extra reading books on teaching and a novel. I kept novel aside this time because I needed to study the other books well.
Also there was a really good novel collection.

There's a whole section for IELTS appliers. There are study packs to refer and borrow. You can study alone without taking any exam.

3 months IELTS Library membership is 3000 LKR.

For the book issuing system there's a really efficient and modern system. First you have to scan the membership card and then scan each book like this. No need of filling or signing. It's the best system I saw so far.

If you live around colombo don't forget to visit this place.

we had scanning ID and book barcode system in our university library too. but an officer used to chop a date seal on the return date manually.
