This study aims to explore the reading habits and attitudes among seminar librarians at the University of Karachi. Seminar librarians play a crucial role in promoting a reading culture and facilitating access to information resources for students and faculty members. Understanding their reading habits and attitudes can provide insights into their professional development, as well as their impact on the library environment. This research investigates the frequency and types of reading materials seminar librarians engage with, their attitudes towards reading, and the factors that influence their reading habits. The findings contribute to enhancing the role of seminar librarians in promoting reading and developing strategies to cultivate a reading culture within the university community.
