ADVISES OYETOLA TO IMPROVE OSUN READING CULTURE AND EQUIP STATE LIBRARY WITH
MODERN BOOKS
The Osogbo Book Club,
an arm of the Ulli Beier Society, has advised the current governor of Osun
State to improve the moribund reading culture of the state by equipping the
state and local government libraries with modern books and modern educational
resources.
This was contained in a
release issued and signed by the Coordinator of the Club, Mr. Wole Adedoyin in
Osogbo on Sunday.
According to Mr.
Adedoyin, “I must commend Governor Gboyega Oyetola for the good works his doing
in the health area. He is really doing a great job. But Mr. Governor should
also pay attention to other areas begging for immediate attention. Libraries in
Osun State need an urgent attention. There are no modern books in those
libraries. What are currently there are outdated books. Osun people are avid
readers. 40% of them still consult libraries for educational purposes.
We are urging Mr.
Governor to make sure he appointed members who are book lovers and whose
educational background are solid as members of the Osun State Library Board
when the time of appointment comes.
Mr. Adedoyin finally
urged writers and publishers within and outside Osun state to cultivate an
habit of donating both their new and old books to any library in the state.
