  7. Those who know the struggling National Library goes through even in time of plenty will not insult the decision.
    It is only students who appreciate the services of MNLS. Funding of this body is a shame and an indicator to how we value education. They are supposed to have branches in all districts but cant . Books are very expensive and they will end up with very old editions if the trend continues.
    MNLS in an “invisible” investiment. It helps in educated manpower. There are many graduates who can testify having succeded in going to colleges because of this organisation. Indeed,even to some extent professionals use the services such as referrnce and reading atmosphere.
