LIBRARY: THE BEST PLACE TO LEARN, UNLEARN AND RELEARN

I am so passionate when it comes to issues of library. This is because I was a victim of “lack of libraries in my vicinity” during my formative years. As a young chap growing up, I remember I could read well. I had the zeal to learn new words and understand new phrases. However, this zeal was challenged as I found myself in an environment where the culture of reading was reserved for the elite. After more than 20 years of primary school, I can still remember the titles of some chapters of some of the books we read in school. I remember “this is Ama” in primary two, “Mr. Kuma” in class three, “The hawk and the hen” in class four, “When Aku was ill” in class five and many more. Haaaa, these chapters always come with a sense of nostalgia. I remember I always wanted to be in the reading class because I believed I could read. However, my reading prowess always ended in the classroom. I had no reading book at home and to add salt to rub salt into my wound, I didn’t know of a library. Yes
