“As part of this project, we will be providing necessary infrastructure and stocking them with books. Our goal is to create enriched learning environments for our students.
“In addition to the school libraries, we have also begun the process of revitalizing the community library located on Tos Benson Road, which has been inactive for several years. This effort is a significant part of our book drive campaign.
“We believe that these improvements will greatly benefit our community by fostering a love for reading and learning among our young people.
