The National Library Association (NLA) paid glowing tributes to the Chairperson of the Library & Information Science department, University of Karachi, Prof Dr Farhat Hussain Khan, and his immediate predecessor, Prof Dr Munira Nasreen, who retired from service just a few months ago. 

Speaking on behalf of the NLA, its Advisor, Syed Khalid Mahmood, in his speech, highlighted the role of library teachers, particularly professors, in producing an able lot of professional librarians, serving various organizations in both public as well as private sectors. 

The NLA Advisor congratulated Prof Dr Munira Nasreen on completing her tenure successfully at the University of Karachi, while he expected Prof Dr Farhat Hussain to earn more laurels for the department with his proactive approach. 

Prof Dr Farhat Hussain, who presided over the ceremony, graciously acknowledged the role of library activists who were supporting the cause of librarianship beyond the call of duty.

“The library professionals carry out their duties by contributing in these kinds of activities but hats off to those few individuals who spare their invaluable time and resources in working for the cause who are not from this profession,” he complimented. 

Prof Dr Munira Nasreen, in her brief speech on the occasion, expressed her delight at the appointment of library teachers at key administrative position in colleges and universities. 

Farheen Educational Society’s department of Library Culture Promotion and Government Degree Girls College, 11-I, North Karachi, jointly organized the ceremony at the college library which was attended by a large number of working librarians. 

The founder of Farheen Educational Society, Ibne Hasan Azeemi, and the College Principal, Farheen Mahmood, also shared their thoughts while NLA Secretary General, Anwar Hussain, and its Treasurer, Nasir Mustafa, were prominent among those present on the occasion. The session was moderated by Sadaf Tabassum, Associate Professor at Urdu department of University of Karachi.
