Dear Friends
I thank all the Librarian fraternity of Bangalore for having supported the
cause of *“Walk to the book – March to the Library”. *I was overwhelmed by
the support extended by all of you specially the younger Librarian friends
made this event a grand success.
This gives us a message that, we the professional Associations are lacking
in organizing and using the young librarians for the professional
activities. I along with my other sister Association office bearers shall
take this message seriously and start working jointly for the common cause
of the profession.
In the next years to come we shall make it as a festival of Librarians and
create and awareness among the public at large.
I thank all those (Professional Associations’ office bearers) who worked
meticulously and were responsible for the success of this march. I request
all the Librarian friends to come forward and enroll your membership
to *KARNATAKA
LIBRARY ASSOCIATION (KALA) *and attend the general body meeting of the KALA
in a big number. Please come forward to take up the responsibility of KALA
by submitting your nominations for different positions in the forth coming
elections.
*Until and unless we transfer the administration and management of our
Associations to the younger generation Librarians, our Associations will
suffer from lack of leadership.* Let all the senior professionals stand
aside and support the Association from the back and help the new generation
Librarians to take up the responsibility of building Associations.
*I also wish to give a call to all the professionals to leave all their
personal work and join your hands to Associations when it comes to
exhibition of our unity.*
With very many thanks and regards,
