Government should continue to subsidize internet in public libraries

The Culture Ministry will subsidize the internet in more than three thousand public libraries around the country, the ctk news agency reports. The decision comes after a wave of protests following an announcement that the government no longer has the funds to sustain the service. The government-funded project which secured internet access in public libraries around the country dates back to 2004, launched alongside gradual digitalization of libraries and requalification of librarians.
