A LIBRARY project that has the capacity to seat 80 people has been inaugurated at St Bernadette Soubirous School at Dansoman to support academic work of the students.
The library which has about 7,500 books is expected to help students improve their reading, research and learning in general.
Inaugurating the library, the Vicar General of the Archdiocese of Accra, Very Rev. Francis Adoboli, cautioned the students to refrain from immoral acts, and concentrate on their studies.
He said God has given each person the free will to either do good or evil, but urged them to appreciate their values in society and exercise their free will and freedom responsibly.
The Accra Regional Manager of Catholic Schools, Mrs Faustina Opoku Yeboah, launched the school's 30th anniversary which is scheduled for September 1, 2009 and advised the students to make good use of the library by doing thorough research.
She said the anniversary celebration provided the opportunity for stock taking and asked them to endeavour to acquire knowledge by reading constantly.
Mrs Opoku Yeboah appealed to educational authorities, religious bodies, parents and the entire community to show love to their children and invest in their education.
The Headmistress, Mrs Mary Aquiline Cato, said the school aimed at educating children, especially Catholics in and around Dansoman communities.
She urged the students to obey their parents and school authorities.
The school which was established 30 years ago, has a student population of about 1,500.
The Chairman of the Parent-Teacher Association (PTA), Mr A. K. Fynn, advised the students to take good care of the books in the library.
