As part of a project to build museums and libraries at the birthplaces of seven national heroes and three language martyrs, the Bir Sreshtho Sipahi Mohammad Mostafa Kamal Library and Memorial Museum was constructed on 3 May 2008 at a cost of 5.7 million Bangladeshi taka. It was built to spread the history of the Liberation War and the heroism of the Bir Sreshthos among future generations.[3]
Description
The museum preserves memorabilia and books that help the new generation learn about the history of the Liberation War. The library has separate shelves for different subjects, each labeled by topic to make it easy to find the desired book. The collection includes biographies, novels, religious books, works on science and information technology, writings on the Bangladesh Liberation War, general knowledge, children's literature, poetry collections, and more. In addition to books, the large auditorium features small reading tables. On one side of the arranged books are displayed personal items and photographs of the Bir Sreshtho. The library also offers access to daily national newspapers.
