Students attending Kido Elementary and Primary school in the Central Province will now be equipped with the much needed vital learning materials to do their research and enhance their literacy skill with the opening of their very own Library. The Library is the first library built under the NuiPower’s Community Investment Program said NuiPower Financial Manager Agnes Juwana. She said the construction phase of the library took nearly a year to complete at a cost of K400, 000. Five of the target landowner villages will also receive a library each, starting off with Lealea and moving to the other villages. She said, Kido received theirs first, Lealea will be next, followed by Papa, Boera and Porebada. “In the next two weeks or so, we will build another Library in Lealea. The procurement has already started and the contractors has identified and we will start on that soon. ” “Next year we will start at Papa and move on to the remaining two villages.” Kido Primary Headmaster Mr. Douglas Benoni said, the Library will be a big help to the teachers of the school and most importantly, the students. Mr. Benoni said, the building will be very important to them as all their school resources and curriculums will be kept there for safe keeping and a vital asset to the children and students of Kido as it will be a good research facility and for them to engage themselves in reading. He said, Kido is situated in a rural area and having access to such materials like textbooks, reading books and other learning resources is quite difficult. “We were only using the strategy of classroom library and whatever few books we had, our students used. But with the opening of this library, our students will have access to the much need learning resources. And we are very grateful for our new library.” Mr. Benoni has encouraged the 108 Elementary and 137 Primary students to make use of their new library and to look after it as it provides the knowledge if they only open up the book and tap into it.
