Malawi as a developing country where people are striving for new technologies, it has been observed that reading culture is being left aside as people are turning their minds away from books. This is so despite the presence of the Malawi National Library Service which has the promotion of reading culture amongst children as one of their fundamental aims. Therefore, this has prompted the researcher to conduct a study aiming at finding the role of the Malawi National Library service (MNLS) in their work of promoting reading culture. The objectives of the study are to find out services that are used by MNLS to promote reading culture amongst Malawian children, to find out strategies that are used by MNLS to motivate children to read books and to identify the challenges that are met by the MNLS in the process of promoting reading culture. The study employed both qualitative and quantitative research methods and the targeted population was the Malawi National Library Service Staff, library users especially children and teacher librarians from schools that are beneficiaries of MNLS services. The study recommends that The Malawi National Library Service should consider including more varying services that aim at promoting reading culture, MNLS should also make sure that storytelling, reading aloud and other strategies should be conducted by staff or hired personnel who is well conversant with the way children can be motivated, the MNLS should consider having a civic education with parents through meetings, workshops or seminars to assist the parents to understand the benefit of allowing their children to visit the library.
