    "content": " Thank you very much, Hon. Deputy Speaker and Hon. Chairperson. I take great pleasure in seconding this particular Bill. If the House recalls, some counties inherited public libraries that the national Government had constructed; but others did not. There is a bit of disparity in the capacity within each county to offer library services. By setting up KNLS, we will have one institution with the capacity to help develop a harmonised national policy on national libraries or county libraries, set their standards, promote capacity building, and offer technical assistance to various county governments. Most importantly, we need a central depository, not just for our literary heritage, but also for certain publications like the National Bibliography, the National Periodicals Directory and the National Virtual Library, which would be accessible to all Kenyans wherever they may be and for free. We need a central service that can interface with international partners or organisations to help counties access other library services. With those few remarks, I second. Thank you."
