Treasure Troves

Jesudason Atputharajah 1937 (Jaffna)

Free verse
Treasure troves of knowledge,
Shining examples of human experience,
Facilitating self learning,providing equal opportunities;
Books, talking books,Videos, DVDs,
Audios,microfilms,computers,
Are all available in libraries;
Giving information,mental and spiritual joy;
Reading,drafting,writing,                   referring,,scanning,browsing;
Libraries provide everything;
Like a spring that is renewed,
By continuous flow of water,
Modern libraries continually replenishes,
To serve humanity better.
