$20 million national library project kicked off by President

Friday, 13 June 2008

Beginning construction on Mongolia’s new $20 million national library was celebrated Thursday. Officials noted this is the largest investment in education and culture since the end of the communist governments.

Participating in the ceremony were President N.Enkhbayar, Minister of Education, Culture and Science, N.Bolormaa, and other officials.

Funding for the library is being provided by Kuwait and Mongolia.

During his speech, President N.Enkhbayar noted that he has issued a decree that 50 volumes of world literature will be translated into Mongolian for the new library. Once accomplished, he has ordered the translated literature to be distributed to schools and libraries throughout the country.

Something worth something to the Mongolian people- at least from an educational perspective.
Seems like- for a change- $20M has been put to good use.
