ALL YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT THE

Introduction
Ghana Library Authority in its Year of Learning has enhanced the Ghana Library App and added more features to suit all age groups.
In 2019, the Ghana Library Authority created the Ghana Library App in a bid to increase accessibility to reading materials through technology. The App has therefore been of great importance to Ghanaians especially during this COVID-19 pandemic period; it almost seem it was created for a period like this.
Previously, the content of the App was mainly classics from various vendors such as Worldreader, Feedbooks, Standard ebooks etc.
Now, GhLA in collaboration with other stakeholders like the Ghana Education Service have added contents that suit both children and adults.
Students, with the exemption of the final years are still at home, therefore children can use their time to read and learn on the App.
