On Tuesday, the Accra Technical University (ATU) inaugurated its Research Commons, a significant event that was part of the University’s first-ever Library Week celebrations.
The day was also marked by the presentation of the University Library’s Best Worker award and the publication of the second edition of the Library Chronicle.
The event, also known as Chocolate Day, was themed “Innovation Unleashed: Transformative Research Through Exceptional Service Delivery.”
ATU Vice Chancellor, Professor Amevi Akakpovi, commended the library for consistently celebrating Chocolate Day for four consecutive years and continually introducing new initiatives to enhance academic work.
He encouraged users to maintain the Research Commons to fully benefit from the investments made in it.
Addressing this year’s theme, the Vice Chancellor emphasized the importance of collective effort in contributing to the ongoing industrial revolution.
Guest Speaker and Librarian of the University of Cape Coast (UCC), Dr. Mac Anthony Cobblah, highlighted the significance of Library Week celebrations in promoting libraries.
He stressed the need for collaboration among management, faculty staff, and students for libraries to succeed and encouraged his fellow librarians to adopt technology to effect necessary change.
The Best Worker award was given to Mr. Donus Worlanyo Buadi in recognition of his exceptional qualities. He received a citation from the Vice Chancellor, supported by the management.
Guests were presented with chocolates and souvenirs from the event’s sponsors, which included Lake Side Marina Park at Ashale Botwe, Cocoa Processing Company (CPC), CARLIGH, and Ghana Book Trust.
Goodwill messages were also received from sister institutions such as the University of Development Studies (UDS), the University of Media, Arts, and Culture (UniMAC), Central University, and the Ghana Library Authority (GLA).
