Minority Leader inaugurates 18th Library in Effutu

The Member of Parliament for Effutu and Minority Leader, Alexander Kwamena Afenyo-Markin, has officially inaugurated a library and community centre at Roman School, in the Sankor Don-Bosco electoral area.

The library, which is the 18th to be inaugurated in the constituency, aims to enhance educational development and knowledge sharing among school-going children in the community.

Speaking at the inaugural ceremony, Afenyo-Markin noted that the project did not just represent their collective effort to promote education, but also knowledge sharing and the development of Effutu as community.

According to him, it also represented another step of creating opportunities for learning and civic engagements.

He indicated that the numerous libraries he had spearheaded in the constituency formed part of his pledge to make education and youth development the central pillars on which the development of the constituency will be anchored.

The library, he said, would “provide modern space for students, teachers as well as the general public to learn, read and have access to digital resources.”

He added that it would also “serve as the venue for meetings, training programmes, youth activities and other community initiatives” adding that the “aim is to make knowledge accessible to all people regardless of age or background.”

According to the minority leader, frantic efforts must be made to adequately resource the youth who are the future leaders with facilities that would equip and shape their minds for the task ahead of them.

In view of this, the newly inaugurated library would have reading rooms with internet connectivity, computers and a collection of books to cater for various interest in order to serve the aforementioned purpose.

The community centre section would provide a space for workshops, civic discussions, cultural programmes and skills development section and serve as a platform to strengthen bond among the community members.
