An important initiative is the decision of the Ministry of Education to give nearly Rs.80 million to selected educational institutions in various parts of the island from Jaffna to Devundra to buy books at the fair.(COLOMBO INTERNATIONAL BOOK FAIR)

Arrangements have been made to make the choice freely so that their school libraries will have the latest and the best books chosen by the representatives of the schools

Addressing nearly 400 school principals at a briefing seminar organized by the Ministry of Education, Mr.S.Thillanadarajah, Additional Secretary (School Supplies) of the Ministry of Education stressed the value of books. He described how he spent princely sum of Rs.15 a month on books when he was a student and there was an audit query from the Auditor but the Auditor General approved it. “The auditor was my father and the auditor general was my mother, who encouraged my reading habits and said it was an investment in future. Even today I spend a sizable part of salary on books” he said
