The Parachinar Public Library is a public library in Parachinar, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa.[1][2]
History
[edit]Parachinar Public Library was founded in 1982 by Fazle Haq, then the governor of North-West Frontier Province.[3][4] It was initially located near the deputy commissioner's office.[5]
The library became operational in 1986 and was utilized by students and academics until 2006.[5] Between 2007 and 2011, a period of regional militancy led to library's neglect.[5] During this period, library management was minimal which resulted in a decline of visitors.[5] Staffing consisted of a member of the Kurram Levies, who served as both a librarian and security guard without specialized training in library management.[5] This situation led to gradual deterioration of its physical infrastructure and its role as a community educational resource.[5]
