"Well, it was more exciting in the 60s and 70s because interest was very high to the extent that we trained librarians in line with the country’s professional agitations. I was one of those who started a book on professional agitations and I made sure that when we did the national policy implementation, I was in the committee and it was said that no educational institution could be set up without having a library. Then, I went to do a master’s degree programme in library science in the US. I was conscious of the fact that we needed intellectual resources in our country. We should make sure that children have a library."
