The idea started as a wish to devote a room in my house wherever it may be, for the purpose of lending
books to anyone who wishes to read. Now it will be a library in its own right and conjoined to what will
also be the home of Otinkorama Memorial Foundation. The short-term goal is to complete the building and
turn it into a community library. The Library will have three sections.
-
On the ground floor will be the lending library to be named Allotei Konuah Lending Library. Allotei Konuah is a former headmaster of Accra Academy during my time in the school. It will have a wide range of books, including childrens’ books.
-
On the upper level will be the T Q Armar Lending and Reference Library. T Q Armar is a father and the former headmaster of West Africa Secondary School. This section of the library will be devoted to popular science, philosophy, popular classics, health and fitness.
-
Also on the upper level will be the F K Buah Library, a former Headmaster of Tema Secondary School. It will be devoted to history, art and periodicals and magazines.
There will also be modest accommodation for a library staff on the ground floor.
