Zanzibar to Have Library in Every District

Zanzibar — PLANS are underway to establish a modern library in each district, a move anticipated to encourage people to read, the Director of Zanzibar Library Services Corporation, Ms Sichana Haji Foum, has said.

She made the comments in the wake of growing concerns over declining reading culture among Zanzibaris and Tanzanians at large.

She said her office was thinking of other ways to encourage people to read books, reports, and magazines. "We need people to be informed through reading.

We think providing a library in each district may help," Ms Foum said, adding that the most effective way of getting knowledge is reading documents/ books and through the internet.

The Director said that the project is already under implementation, beginning in Pemba, where a district library has been opened with enough reading materials for both local people and students.

  1. This is a very constructive move,though it comes too late, but better than never.Most of libraries that existed before mapinduzi are either converted into offices or clinics.Let us make education a priority for the welfare of the society.
