Assalamualaikum wbt.
Happy New Year 2026!
As we step into a new year filled with hope and possibilities, let us reflect on the year 2025?a milestone that marked the 25th Anniversary of Pustaka Negeri Sarawak. For a quarter of a century, Pustaka has been at the heart of Sarawak?s knowledge ecosystem, literacy, lifelong learning, and the preservation of our documentary heritage.
This achievement was made possible through the unwavering support of our stakeholders?government agencies, partners, communities, and individuals who believe in the power of knowledge. As we move forward, continuous collaboration and commitment are essential to ensure that Pustaka continues to thrive and contribute to the success of Sarawak in this era of digital transformation and global competitiveness.
Let us also embrace a resolution that enriches our minds and strengthens our community: read more. Reading is not just a habit?it is a gateway to knowledge, creativity, and understanding. In a fast-paced world, books allow us to pause, reflect, and grow. Whether it?s a novel that sparks imagination, a biography that inspires, or a research paper that informs, every page you turn brings you closer to a brighter future.
At Pustaka Negeri Sarawak, we are committed to supporting your reading journey. Our libraries, digital resources, and community programs are here to make reading accessible and enjoyable for everyone. This year, let us make time for books, share stories with loved ones, and nurture a culture of lifelong learning.
In addition, we remind all members of the public service to practise proper and standard records management so that our documentary heritage remains safe and preserved for the benefit of future generations. Good recordkeeping is the foundation of transparency, effective administration, and the safeguarding of Sarawak?s history.
Together, let?s turn 2026 into a year of knowledge, curiosity, and discovery. Resolve to read more?and let Pustaka be your partner in this journey.
As the Right Honourable Premier of Sarawak said during the 2026 Sarawak Budget Conference on 17 December 2025: ?Be bold, read a lot, and apply.?
Happy New Year from all of us at Pustaka Negeri Sarawak!
