Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim has urged librarians across the region to go beyond their traditional roles and take on the challenge of nurturing a vibrant reading culture, especially among the younger generation.
Speaking at the 19th Congress of South-East Asian Librarians General Conference and Meeting (Consal XIX), Anwar said libraries must not only serve as book repositories or aesthetic spaces, but rather as dynamic centres of knowledge, culture and intellectual engagement.
