Impact Summary

The drama club has improved the reading and speaking skills as stories extracted from the books are used. Last year we recorded a good percentage of a pass in English language because of the Library.

Impact Report

The project is considered as a resources centre for teachers and researchers within Kumbo. This is also useful for some students from Universities. We have graded the books and arranged them subjectically. Students sign out the books that they need through their prefects who get to the Library prefect. Teachers also sign their own books for each class session and share to students in class after which the teacher gets them back to the library and sign as having returned them.

The dictionaries are very helpful because they have been used by our English teachers to teach our poor students how to use them and supported by some English books their English language has been greatly improved. community members have registered their names as users of the library who create their quiet time especially during week ends and read while some students also use it for studying for exams.

They now have a community library where most families now benefit because any family that has a child who wish to carry out research have the facility at the door steps. Even though it is just a small library and most of the books were story books the researchers do at time get what they want and some do not.
