MHF's Literary Support Initiative: Promoting Authors and Libraries
Kurdistan Region, Iraq.
In a dedicated endeavor to strengthen the literary community
and extend support to the accomplished authors and agencies participating in
the Sulaymaniyah International Book Fair, MHF took a proactive step. By
procuring books from local bookshops, MHF not only contributed to the
sustenance of local businesses but also embarked on a mission to redistribute
this literary wealth.
The acquired books, carefully curated to encompass a diverse
range of genres and perspectives, were then thoughtfully disseminated. In a
strategic move to broaden access and encourage a culture of reading, MHF
distributed these literary treasures to 53 public libraries scattered across
the Kurdistan region in November 2021.
This initiative goes beyond the mere transaction of books; it
reflects MHF's unwavering commitment to cultivating a vibrant literary
environment. By ensuring the availability of diverse literature in public
spaces, MHF aims to stimulate intellectual curiosity, foster a love for
reading, and fortify the foundations of a flourishing literary culture within
the community. As MHF continues to champion these efforts, the impact
reverberates, contributing to a more enlightened and culturally rich society.
