Top officials of the National Library Association (NLA) gathered to brainstorm the future strategy during their meeting held at the Arts Council of Pakistan (ACP), located at M R Kayani Road, Karachi, on May 25.
Syed Muzaffar Ali Shah (President), Anwar Hussain (Secretary General) and Muhammad Amin Jamali (Member, Executive Committee) took part in the session which reviewed the various aspects of the World Book & Copyright Day event which was organized recently by the NLA at the Junagadh Lawn.
“We noted with satisfaction the participation of more than 50 persons in our World Book Day celebration in which we set the tradition of urging our members and guests to bring along at least one gift book to be donated to deserving organizations. This initiative resulted in the collected of around 100 books on the occasion which was duly donated to the Junagadh Library & Resource Centre,” the NLA President informed PNFS in a brief conversation on May 26.
“We also took into account the non-presence of some of our members, who didn’t turn up despite timely invitations and repeated reminders. We deliberated on making our events more purposeful and insightful in future to ensure participation of larger number of librarians for their own benefit,” Muzaffar Ali Shah added.
He further disclosed that the NLA was planning to hold a few events on larger scale in the second half of the years, the details of which were being worked out by their key office-bearers.
