One's destination is never a place but a new way of seeing things.

Mardan public library and community hall is situated under one roof building. Different types of social functions get arrange in the community hall. The building is adjacent to the main "Bacha Khan square" in Mardan. Little attention has been given to the selection of books, that have been kept in the library. One can get some basic books.But for the advance study and research, students have to go either peshawar archives or Islamabad archives. There is not a sufficient collection of books.

No doubt the schools have been burned and blast in swat valley and Malakand division by a particular group of people, but the real fact is totally different. Majority of peopl...
