Sub: Opening of a Public Library in the Area

Sir 

Through the columns of your prestigious national daily, I want to highlight the urgent need for opening a public library in Nawab Ganj.

I am a resident of Nawab Ganj, Bhopal. Mostly people belonging to lower income groups live in this colony. It is difficult to imagine that the people of the area are deprived of having a good public library.

There are quite a sizeable number of students living in this area. They can’t afford to buy books, periodicals and magazines. The high prices of books and magazines dampen their reading spirit and passion. A good library can serve the needs of the people. There are many who like serious reading of the classics. Others like to read Shakespeare, Keats, Wordsworth, Prem Chand and Tagore. The young people may like light reading like comics and sports magazines. Only a good library can serve the needs of all the residents of the area. I hope the concerned authorities will take immediate steps to meet the genuine demands of the residents of Nawab Ganj.

Yours faithfully

Mustaq Ahmed
