TIRUCHI: Ten village libraries will be started during the current financial year with a view to promoting the movement in the district, the District Library Officer A. P. Sivakumar said. Speaking at a function to mark the valediction of the National Library Week here on Saturday, he said that the decision would facilitate the villagers to develop their intellectual skills by making most of the libraries. The libraries would be opened in Oorakarai in Thathaiengarpettai; Punjai Sankenthi; Vaaladi; Mutharasanallur; Thuvakudi; Puthanampatti; Edhumalai; Palakurichi near Manapparai; Valanadu near Marunagapuri; and Kottathoor near Musiri. “Thuvakudi, a municipal town on the outskirts of the city, benefits most since it is the first library to be opened there,” he said. Mr. Sivakumar also said that the Department of Public Libraries had also permitted upgrading of eight part-time libraries into village libraries. The part-time libraries at Dhevanoor near Thathaiengarpettai; Dheeran Nagar (Thuraiyur); Alathudayanpatti; Paithamparai; Azhunthalaipoor (Pullampadi); E. Vellanur (Lalgudi); Elurpatti (Thottiyam) and Ondhandapatti (near Vaiyampatti) would be upgraded into village libraries. He also said that a district-level library development conference would be held in a couple of months. He said that book-lovers and philanthropists had donated computers, furniture and other library-allied infrastructure worth Rs.12 lakh.
