The National Library Association (NLA), during its meeting held in Karachi on September 20, has decided to organize a workshop on public libraries within the next couple of weeks.
The NLA leadership has shown the inclination to hold the upcoming workshop titled ‘Importance of Public Libraries in Digital Era’ at the famous Taimuriya Library, located in Karachi Central’s area of North Nazimabad, which has become the first library of the city to be opened round the clock on every day of the week.
The NLA meeting was chaired by its Founder President, Syed Muzaffar Ali Shah, while Syed Khalid Mahmood (Advisor), Farheen Mahmood (Vice President), Anwar Hussain (Secretary General), Nasir Nayab (Treasurer) and Syed Sultan Ali (Member, Executive Committee) were also present on the occasion.
“We are more interested in holding this workshop at the Taimuriya Library because, besides being an iconic public library for the last many years, it has now also come into prominence by opening up its services on 24/7 basis,” the NLA President informed PNFS.
“We will soon be approaching the District Municipal Corporation (DMC), Karachi Central, in this regard and we may consider organizing the event with their collaboration. The idea is to ensure a decent attendance of the working librarians who will be taught new techniques to meet the challenges of the digital era,” Muzaffar Ali Shah added.
