Visit To British Council | 5% For SL Charity
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 really love the kid's section. It has soo many nice books.
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.
Library Membership Fees
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.
I also went to British council for English course... I think it is the best place to improve our English knowledge.
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.
