Furthermore, the Head of the Public Relations Bureau was encouraged to start getting excited again about developing libraries, because the problem is not quantity, but the quality is still low, and the low commitment of policymakers in developing libraries, limited infrastructure, library managers, low interest in reading, and an out of date system is also an obstacle.

"MoSA’s Library has developed a strategy, namely the development of infrastructure, completing the collection of library materials to suit the needs of the community, developing technically competent human resource managers, providing budget support, promotion, and utilizing the latest IT, because of the importance of library revitalization in the implementation of social welfare," he concluded.
