Public libraries in Sindh often appear to receive a dwindling response - but in some, with every passing day, the number of readers is increasing. The Liaquat Memorial Library is one of the 31 major libraries in the province that students, aspirants for competitive exams, scholars and other readers frequent regularly. “These are the major libraries and most of the time, readers [can] hardly get a seat,” said libraries director Nazakat Ali Fazlani, adding that all divisional headquarters have libraries. “But the number of readers for competitive exams is going up,” he seconded. “The competitive exams have actually created a trend of going to libraries,” he opined.
