At a short ceremony to unveil the edifice, Mr. Yaw Owusu- Addo explained that the various interventions made in education by the government were to ensure that the Ghanaian Child received access to the best education possible in the country.

He entreated students to adopt reading habits and often do research by using the library facility.

Mr. Owusu-Addo urged school heads to include library hours on the school's timetable and to establish reading clubs in the schools to ensure that children had access to the library and to improve on their reading skills.

Mr. Owusu- Addo said the Municipal Assembly had planned to sponsor quiz competitions among schools in the municipality to promote effective teaching and learning.

Hajia Barichisu Adams, the Municipal Director of Education called on school children and the teachers to make good use of the library facility since it was going to offer good opportunities for them to improve their literacy.

She encouraged school heads to revive debate and quiz clubs to enable them to use the facility for its intended purpose.

Hajia Adams appealed to the library authorities and the pupils to keep the books tidy so as to make it last for others to also benefit from them in the future.

Nana Effah Opinnamang III, the Chief of Obomeng commended the assembly for helping to improve education in the area by providing such an edifice.

He urged parents to prevent their wards from watching uneducated programmes on the televisions and motivate them to often visit the library to read.

Nana pleaded with the assembly to install security cameras in the library to help monitor the use of the library by the students.
