Abstract :
A. Rahim Khan (ARK) was one of the pioneers of library movement in Pakistan. Dr. Mumtaz Ali Anwar (MAA) called him “Teacher of the teachers” (Ameen, 2008). He was gifted teacher of the oldest library school of Pakistan as well as of Asia, veteran librarian of the biggest and the oldest university of Pakistan and devoted worker, i.e. first Vice President of Pakistan Library Association (PLA). He had been bestowed “Lifetime Achievement Award” on the eve of PLA Golden Jubilee Conference 2007, held at Lahore. He could not receive his award in person due to his poor health, and Ch. Muhammad Hanif, Librarian University of the Punjab (PU) received the same on his behalf (Ameen, 2008, pp.167-8). The history of librarianship in Pakistan is incomplete without mentioning the untiring efforts and achievements of the library pioneers like ARK.
