Future plan |
||
District Government Public Library, Jhalokathi wants to play a role as an ideal institution for building a knowledge-based and science-based modern society. To build Bangladesh free from terrorism, drugs, corruption and militancy, libraries must be self-sufficient. District Government Public Library, Jhalokathi is working on several future plans to meet that demand.

Building Extension |
Upward expansion of single storied public library building is required to meet the demand of time and readership. Directorate of public library has taken up the project for the purpose of construction of three storied building. If this is possible it will be possible to have a self-contained indoor games center, ICT center, separate reading rooms for children and magazines and periodicals. A modern auditorium is also planned. |

There are plans to turn public libraries into digital libraries through automation. The overall functioning of the library will be done through an “automation software”. The library also plans to join international consortia to collect millions of journals and books. |

Use of ICT |
There are plans to have a self-contained ICT corner with computers, printers and photocopiers. Along with that, the project to improve the overall environment of the public library with air conditioning system will be taken up very soon. |
