The Mon State Hluttaw’s library has opened to the public during office hours in order to form networks between the Hluttaw and the people, and to allow easy access to information.

“Everyone can now come to the Hluttaw library. This means not only the public, but media groups will also be provided access to the library. However, visitors will only be able to read the books at the library and cannot borrow or take the books out. Everyone can take photos at the library and copy all the information that they want,” said Dr. Aung Naing Oo, deputy speaker of Mon State Hluttaw.

The Hluttaw made the announcement to the public last Tuesday [on November 15], stating the library is open during Hluttaw office hours.

The Deputy Speaker added that currently, the library has books that are published by the state Hluttaw and books donated by foreign countries. Hluttaw will contact other libraries to order more books.

“We are ready to help provide books for the Mon State Hluttaw. If the Hluttaw wants to change the books once per month, that’s also okay. Then the library can help provide books,” said Daw Wah Wah Lwin, head of Mon State’s Information and Public Relations Ministry.

The State Hluttaw Library has books of politics, meeting documents from Pyidaungsu Hluttaw, Amyotha Hluttaw, and Pyithu Hluttaw, meeting records of Mon State Hluttaw, research documents and reports from civil society organizations and non-government organizations, foreign parliament books, and journals from local media agencies and other sources.
