Baghlan's governor, Abdullah Mukhtar, has donated 1,200 books to the public library of the province's Department of Information and Culture in a cultural initiative. A press release from the Baghlan governor's office stated that the books cover various scientific, literary, historical, political, and cultural topics.
According to the press release, the goal of this action is to enrich the reading resources for citizens and to promote a culture of reading among the youth and other segments of society in Baghlan province. The governor emphasized the importance of reading in raising the level of public awareness.
The Baghlan Public Library is one of the important cultural centers in the province, hosting dozens of book and reading enthusiasts daily. The library strives to provide its visitors with access to new and diverse resources.
According to local officials, in addition to the city of Pul-e-Khumri, the provincial capital, branches of the public library are also active in five other districts of the province. This facilitates access to books and informational resources for the residents of the districts.
This move by the Baghlan governor has been welcomed by cultural figures and youth in the province. They hope that such initiatives will contribute to the intellectual growth of society and encourage the younger generation to pursue knowledge and education.
The lack of up-to-date books and reading materials is a major challenge for public libraries in many provinces of Afghanistan. Support from local officials and citizens for these cultural centers can play a significant role in addressing these challenges and strengthening the culture of reading in the country.
