Contribution Request to help rebuild Manipur State Library - An appeal from The Chief Librarian / Manipur State Central Library - |
|||
All would agree the importance of books in the society. There is a growing concern amongst the citizen of Manipur and others across the world of the loss that Manipur is experiencing which is caused by the aftermath of the Library being burnt down. Voicing the request of the Head Librarian of State Library H Devendra, Team E-Pao would like to request each of you to contribute books/documents/literary artifacts/educational video/educational audio materials from your personal collection to rebuild the destroyed Library. Here is the actual text from the chief Librarian: "To revive and help in newly setting up the State Central Library which has been reduced to ashes in a devastating fire set by Mayek activists on April 13, Chief Librarian H Devendra appeals to all the people in the State who love the Library to donate at least one book from their private collections. So far Professor Sanajaoba Singh of Khurai Lairikyengbam Leikai, Prof Md Bajaouddin of Sora Kakching and M Kandesh Singh of Singjamei Chinga Makhong have donated books to the library" Books, Cheques, Bank Draft and other materials can be sent to the following address: The Chief Librarian State Central Library Imphal Manipur - 795001 India Also, Mr. H Devendra can be contacted at the following telephones: Office: +91-385-2220091 Mobile: +91-943602-0032 Contributors can also contact e-pao at [email protected] for enquiries and willingness of your contribution. The library connects us with the insight and knowledge, painfully extracted from Nature, of the greatest minds that ever were, with the best teachers, drawn from the entire planet and from all our history, to instruct us without tiring, and to inspire us to make our own contribution to the collective knowledge of the human species. I think the health of our civilization, the depth of our awareness about the underpinnings of our culture and our concern for the future can all be tested by how well we support our libraries. � Cosmos Carl SAGAN This appeal is made possible in consultation with Team Epao!
