Dr Syed Saifur Rahman, the administrator of Karachi, said on Wednesday that establishing and promoting street libraries in Karachi was essential because people all over the world were receiving various facilities so that they could utilise them as much as possible. The Administrator told a delegation from Liaquatabad, Hyderi All Tajir Ittehad, and Pakistan Council of Libraries that visited him at his office that the street library in Hyderi Market would be made operational and new books would be added to the library.
The delegation included Dr. Shabbir Qureshi, Faraz, Ali Shah, Saeed Ahmed, Akram Ali, Chief Coordinator Libraries Sultan Khalil, and others.
By establishing a street library, the populace, according to the Administrator Karachi, would gain access the facility of reading books.
“The time lost in travelling due to heavy traffic pressure in Karachi to reach the libraries located in different areas will also be saved and that time can also be spent for studies,” he added.
Dr Syed Saifur Rehman said that libraries were the treasure of knowledge, wisdom. He said that civilization, culture, past, present and future of the world were hidden in the books kept in libraries.
