The opening of the Likoni Library is set for early August 2011, all factors remaining constant. It will be a hub of activity offering such services as internet access and a quiet place for students to study. Presently the Ag. Librarian Wafula with the help of Kassim and student volunteers, are cataloguing books so that all will run smoothly. Wafula says the chronicling is about half way done and he is very optimistic about the outcome of his and the efforts of those who are assisting him with this project.
There will also be computer classes and funds raised will assist in maintenance costs of the library, as soon as the opac system is in place it will become a borrowing library but for now folks will just read and study and conduct their own research. The energy around this facility is bound to bring about positive change to the Likoni community!
