habits that come as a result of inadequate resources and what they perceive as a educational

burden hence losing hope. This can also be seen as a decrease in children drop-outs, thus love

of education. Furthermore, this library extends the level of literacy in the community and the

ability of academic understanding to those who can’t go to school.

acquire education from higher institutions of learning. The project was supported by Barclays

Bank through IPS Building Branch. Thanks a lot to Barclays Bank.
