    ‘Malaysians still not


    reading enough’

    THE library carnival organised by the Penang Public Library Corporation


    ended on a successful note as hundreds of people attended the event.

    Penang state secretary Datuk Farizan Darus said the two-day event, aimed at
    creating awareness on the importance of reading and the promotion of life-
    long learning, was the corporation’s biggest for the year.

    “Reading is food for the mind and reading quality materials will build an active
    mind and enrich one’s knowledge.

    “Various reading campaigns have been carried out and the response was
    lukewarm at best.

    “The society at large needs to read more and cultivate a reading habit in
    children,” he said at the carnival’s closing at the state library in Seberang Jaya
    near Butterworth recently.

    Farizan also thanked Malaysian Communica-tions and Multimedia


    Commission northern region director Mohd Hussin Ali, who was present, for
    giving out 1,020 netbooks to be placed in libraries in Penang.
