Kumasi, Aug 27, GNA--The first private library attached to St. Francis Schools at Bomso to serve the public and basic and senior secondary schools opens in Kumasi next month.

Mr Francis A. Owusu-Ansah, Director of Saint Francis Schools, said in Kumasi on Friday that the library is to encourage students and the public to read to improve their knowledge.

Mr Owusu-Ansah said the library would contain over 15,000 books on various subjects such as Encyclopaedia, Mathematics, Science, Geography, History, Literature, Fiction and Children's books.

He said the acquisition of the children's and other books was made possible through the efforts of Mr John Osei-Bobie, an electrical engineer in London.
