@Mmsiad Nice job and congratulations 🎊 for the rewarded frequent vistors. Reading and being in libraries opens up and updates what you have in mind for other perspectives. We welcome the initiatives being made to the National Literacy program for the benefit of Somali communities 👏

Rewarding the few who read or pay visit to the libraries matter and deserve recognition to repeat behaviors as such
