Dorris Lessing on Libraries
by Vasanth 09 Apr '12

09 Apr '12

Recent move by West Bengal government to ban the subscription of all English dailies and two local newspapers in State run public libraries has triggered a lot of controversy across WB and in other parts of the country. This is the move to curtail the free thinking and undemocratic. Here is a quote from the The 2007 Nobel Laureate for Literature Dorris Lessing on importance of libraries in a democratic society. " With a library you are free not confined by the temporary political climates. It is the most democratic of institutions because no one, no one at all -can tell you what to read and when and how" ------------------------- With best wishes Vasantha Raju N -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.
