Dr Pe Myint, Union Minister for Information, visited the Information and Public Relations Department in Meikhtila District yesterday, which included inspections of libraries, reading rooms and a museum.

The Union Minister and party observed how people were utilising the Meikhtila library, the systematic placement of books and periodicals in the library, artistic works painted by children in the children’s reading room, competition of children in the contest of reading ability, audio installation for use in the community centre and arrangements for holding ceremonies.

Dr Pe Myint arrived at the office of Wundwin Township IPRD later in the afternoon, inspecting the People’s Library, the children’s reading room and the museum. The Union Minister instructed officials to accumulate more traditional tools and equipment which were being exhibited in the small museum that is part of the library, as well as to compile concise excerpts of dates of scripture, authors’ or compilers’ names and subject matter for the museum’s ancient palm-leaf writings.
