Nine librarians receive award

Nine librarians receive award

Nine librarians from state and private libraries in the city
were announced as the best librarians at a ceremony at City Hall
yesterday.

However none of the nine, who won the titles after ousting 59
competitors, are working with the city administration, Mansyur
Razak, the chairman of the organizing committee, said.

Razak said that none of the librarians who work with the city
administration had formal education in librarianship.

"They only did a three to six month librarianship course," he
added.

Deputy Governor for People's Welfare R.S. Museno who presented
awards to the nine expressed hope in his opening speech that the
city's librarians would continue to give their best service to
the public although working as librarians was neither a popular
nor prestigious job. (arf)
