President launches Jaffna E-Library Programme
The programme to develop the Jaffna Library into an e-library was inaugurated under the patronage of President Anura Kumara Dissanayake this morning (01 Sept).
Accordingly, the website jaffna.dlp.gov.lk was introduced for the Jaffna Public Library, enabling readers to access its collection online through this project.
The Jaffna Public Library, a symbol of pride for the people of Jaffna, is one of the largest libraries in Asia, housing an extensive collection of books.
It is used daily by school and university students as well as researchers from both Sri Lanka and abroad.
At the event, an integrated library management system, a smart card access facility and a special unit equipped with assistive technology for persons with special needs were also introduced for the Jaffna Public Library.
A sum of Rs. 100 million has been allocated for this project from the 2025 budget.
Following the official launch of the e-library programme, the President toured the reading hall and lending section of the library, engaging in cordial discussions with the staff.
