Tabar, Sir Rabbie support call for East New Britain library

 THE call for a public library in East New Britain has been strongly supported by former prime minister Sir Rabbie Namaliu and Gazelle MP Malakai Tabar. 

Both leaders shared similar sentiments at the book launching of Sir Paulias Matane and Benedict Warwaka last Friday. 

Tabar said a library paves the way to greater learning and achievements in life as witnessed by the birth of an aspiring young author in Benedict Warwakai. 

“You don’t have to be good in speaking and writing English, but if you can read a lot. It opens up the window in life’s capacity for success,” Tabar said. 

Sir Rabbie reminded the province’s parliamentarians that a public library is an important institution. 

He said since the volcanic disruption of Rabaul town there a library is yet to be built and is optimistic the ENB provincial government and relevant bodies have plans in place for a replacement. 

Warwakai said: “Today marks a milestone in my life.” 

He said he was motivated by Sir Paulias.
