Last month I visited libraries near my house and in total
I found only three. One of them is in G-11 Markaz. This library is a dingy room
with insufficient light. One corner of the roof gives a view of the sky as
corrugated roofing sheet is not in place. An employee at the library informed
me that the roof was affected by a storm a few years ago. This building needs
serious renovation.
Travelling to another library in G-8/1 I saw a library
located on the dead end of a street corner. This structure is a shanty metal
container. In fact, it looks more like a makeshift shelter. Lastly I visited a
library in F-9. This library seemed reasonable. I applied for membership when
the staff informed me that it would take a maximum of two days. I got my
membership card after three weeks.
I wonder who is responsible for all these ills. Is it
inefficiency, lethargic attitude or red tape? When would this stop?
