“For the love of books”

Recently, I came across a very impressive piece of news in this newspaper titled “For the love of books.” The report was done by Andrew Eagle and Zahangir Shah. It told the story of a public library set up by Rafiqul Islam, a councillor of Manikganj. Although Rafiqul is not a very educated person, his dream is to build a society based on idealism. And he believes that his dream can be achieved through nurturing the habit of reading among readers of all ages. He has fulfilled his long-cherished dream by setting up this library. People like Rafiqul are the real assets of our society.
