Looking Ahead
We have started construction on a much needed Resource Centre at Makeni Regional Government Hospital. The centre will allow the library to grow and diversify the access offered to medical information.
Will you help us fund a small computer suite in the resource centre?
Resource Centre completed!
The newly constructed Resource Centre at Makeni Government Hospital was officially opened in March 2021! This wonderful space has much more room for the books and for readers. It also has a group study space, and toilet facilities.
Thank you to all who participated in the opening ceremony! We look forward to the contribution this new building will make to the future of healthcare library services in Makeni.
