The Sindh government has decided to open a street library to promote literature on December 25, marking the birthday of Quaid-e-Azam Muhammad Ali Jinnah.
The government has taken a new step to support education by developing a roadside street library near Metropole that would be inaugurated on December 25.
As per reports, the library will operate on the ‘take a book and leave a book’ basis. Commissioner Karachi shared that the idea behind this first street library of the city is to encourage the practice of book reading among people.
The Karachi Commissioner’s Office has decorated the wall surrounding the Metropole building with portraits of Quaid e Azam Muhammad Ali Jinnah, his sister Fatima Jinnah, and poet Allama Iqbal. Wooden bookshelves have also been installed between the portraits.
Plans to upgrade other public libraries in different districts of the city are also underway.
