The closure of the library had a negative impact on us as the library offers a wide range of resources, like free Wi-Fi and different books, which help with schoolwork and research.
We have learners who come from disadvantaged backgrounds.
With the opening of the library, we hope it will once again restore the culture of learning in our schools.
This came at a good time as the year is coming to an end and the end-of-year exams, which are important, are close. Learners will now be able to get themselves ready.
