The library is the heart of any institution of higher learning and that has been the story of the Central University Library for the past 25 years. This year, along the lifetime of the University, the CU Library celebrates its silver jubilee.
Speaking at the launch of the of the 2023 Library Week on Wednesday April 26 on the theme: ‘25 Years of Raising Virtuous and Transformational Leaders; The Role of CU Library’, the In-Charge of the Library Directorate, Mrs. Francisca Yaba Asante reiterated the fact that “twenty-five years in the life of every successful individual or corporate body is worth celebrating, and thus we celebrate the successes and achievements of the CU Library over the past twenty-five years”. Over the years of its existence, the Central University Library has been service to over 30,000 students at both the undergraduate and graduate levels.
As part of the 2023 Library Week and 25th Anniversary Celebration, the Directorate undertook a corporate-social venture at the Kaneshie Senior High Technical School (KATECO); The Directorate mobilized resources to refurbish Kateco’s school library to a state-of-the-art standard. The school’s librarians were also trained by the CU Librarians with the view to well manage the new Kateco library. The library refurbishment project, according the leadership of the Directorate, is an effort to give back to the community, Mataheko/Kaneshie, where Central University Library operated from for over two decades.
On April 27, at a short ceremony at the Kaneshie Senior High School, the refurnished Kateco School Library was handed over by the Central University Library Directorate Leadership to the Management of the School. Representing the Vice-Chancellor and the Pro Vice-Chancellor at the ceremony was Mrs. Eliza Totimeh, the Christ Temple Campus Director. Others present were Staff of the Library Directorate.
Mr. Paul Egyir Mensah, Headmaster of Kaneshie Senior High Technical School, on behalf of Management, Staff and Students of his school expressed his profound appreciation to CU Library Directorate for the thoughtful gesture.
