Do Pakistanis Read? (And the Missing Libraries of Pakistan)

Adil Najam Says There are, in fact, many nice libraries in Pakistan, but not too many functional ones. "Lahore, an ancient city of culture, now has more polo grounds than libraries. Lahore even has more offices for the chief minister (four in all) than libraries. Of course, the Chief Minister needs office space more than our children need libraries."
