Provincial Minister of Culture, Tourism, Antiquities, and Archives, Sindh, Syed Zulfiqar Ali Shah has said that Chairman Bilawal Bhutto Zardari wants our libraries to be modern and equipped with the latest books, where students in Sindh can have access to all facilities, including books. He expressed these views while presiding over a meeting of the Directorate of Public Libraries, Sindh.
DG Libraries Sindh Ejaz Sheikh while briefing the Minister Syed Zulfiqar Ali Shah, said that there are currently 44 public libraries in all six divisions of Sindh, and due to a large number of students and book readers the libraries need to be expanded. He said that due to no recruitment since 2013, 419 out of 645 posts from grade 1 to 19 are still vacant, so the Directorate of Public Libraries is facing a severe staff shortage. He briefed that for the convenience of readers, more than 100 million books are available on the e-library portal, from where readers can study their favorite books at any time and from anywhere. 
Provincial Minister of Culture, Tourism, Antiquities, and Archives, Sindh, Syed Zulfiqar Ali Shah, said that our intentions are good and firmed, I will soon visit all libraries to review public facilities and modern books, he added.
