The National Library Association (NLA), which had started making its presence felt on the scene last year, has decided to resume its activities after having maintained silence on account of the coronavirus-related lockdown. 

Some of the key officials of the NLA met again in Karachi recently to chalk out plans for the immediate future which include publication of the introductory brochure of the association besides some literature about library science. 

They have planned to celebrate the Library Day in a befitting manner and also hold a grand function to honour eminent library professionals and supporters. They also looked into the possibilities of arranging study tours for working librarians. 

The NLA meeting was organized by its core team comprising of Anwar Hussain and Muzaffar Ali Shah, the senior librarians working at the Board of Intermediate Education and State Bank of Pakistan respectively. A few participants also joined the meeting via video link.
