Lack of libraries

Letter May 24, 2015
Libraries should be looked at as assets because an educated and literate populace can better serve a nation

KARACHI: Libraries play a major role in polishing students but due to neglect and improper aid by the government in Karachi, libraries are very few in number, with most of them being outdated or remaining closed.

The government should look towards establishing more libraries in the city and in the country so as to encourage literacy and education. Libraries should be looked at as assets because an educated and literate populace can better serve a nation.
