A priori the ShC librarian, Mavis Adombire resigned her post, to go to Sunyani. That her father has demanded she goes there and better her grades. So, on Friday the LC went to handover the library’s responsibilities to next Librarian awaiting appointment. She is in the person of Diana Ayamga. She was the second candidate on our list of interviewees. She was glad to be called upon and showed much interest to work in the ShCL. She promised to work hard for the betterment of the patrons and for the community. The LC took her through the orientation about CLs. We wish Diana a fruitful work.
The LC was able to discuss with the ShCL Committee chairman about the impending renovations of the library. He brought in a painter and a welder to estimate the cost of paints and the metal door for the library. However, this estimates have not yet got to us. But as soon as we got that, we will prepare for a request.
