The National Library Association (NLA), as part of its mission to promote book culture, has donated a package of books to the newly developed Khan Liaquat Ali Khan Library housed in Karachi’s densely populated Block 15 of Federal-B-Area. 

Syed Muzaffar Ali Shah, President, NLA, informed PNFS that the first consignment of books has also been delivered on behalf of the members of the Association and more books will follow from their side in the coming days.

“The office-bearers of NLA have raised this initial donation of books to facilitate the Union Council authorities who are doing a fantastic job by working on fast track to develop this library,” he remarked. 

He commended the Union Councils to have undertaken the gigantic task of developing new libraries besides renovating the old ones which had become dormant over the years in accordance with the guidelines of the provincial government. 

The NLA President particularly praised Agha Sameer Khan Durrani, Administrator, Union Committees, Gulberg Town, District Central, for his initiatives in the development of the Khan Liaquat Ali Khan Library at remarkably quick pace. He expressed the hope that the same momentum will be retained and other Union Councils will work with similar zeal.
