The Bazm-e-Akram, fast emerging as an active literary forum of the library professionals, will be honouring their Vice President, Dr Nasreen Shagufta, in a reception to be held at the Liaquat Memorial Library, Karachi, on November 2.
The reception is being held on the eve of Dr Nasreen Shagufta’s departure for a three-month tour of the United States of America (USA), due to start in the middle of November. Her maiden book ‘Darakhshan Sitaray’ which is an account of 30 women library scientists of the country, being published by the Library Promotion Bureau (LPB), is also expected to see the light of the day around the same time.
Prof Dr Nasim Fatima, a former Chairperson of the Department of Library and Information Science at the University of Karachi, who is editor of Bazm-e-Akram’s flagship publication ‘Adab-o-Kutub Khana’ besides being the moving force behind the forum, and Abdul Samad Ansari, President of the Bazm-e-Akram, have planned the reception to honour Dr Nasreen Shagufta, one of the editors of the Pakistan Library and Information Science Journal (PLISJ).
The Bazm-e-Akram, a forum named after Prof Dr Ghani-ul-Akram Sabzwari, Founder President, LPB, and Founder Chief Editor, PLISJ, had come into being in 1976 with Adil Usmani being the Founder President. It has withstood the test of the times and the founder members remain determined to carry forward the mission of their beloved 'Ustad-e-Mohtaram.'
