The program initiated by Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz Sharif has installed micro-library book racks in public parks, bus stations, and railway stations across Wazirabad, offering over 1,000 books at 15 locations.

This number is set to increase by 1,000 books over the next two to three months.

The primary goal is to promote healthy reading habits among individuals in parks and while waiting at transportation hubs. To ensure the books’ safety, rainproof covers have been placed over the racks.
