The Shah Latif Library, established in 1979 by local people on self-help basis, was the town's only library until recently. The library is named after the great Sufi scholar and saint Shah Abdul Latif Bhittai (1689–1752), who is considered as the greatest poet of the Sindhi language. The library has a repository of thousands of books mainly donated by local people. Unfortunately, now it is in a deplorable condition as it is housed in a rented old tattered building. The town very badly needs a new library with state-of-the-art facilities.
