Library authority poised to increase country’s literacy rate

The Ghana Library Authority (GhLA) has marked this year’s World Book and Copyright Day with a resolve to leverage on technology to increase the country’s literacy rate. Within the last four years, the authority have introduced some thoughtful initiatives which have helped in connecting Ghanaians to relevant knowledge.

Among these initiatives, applying for International Standard Book Numbers (ISBN), International Standard Serial Number (ISSN) and International Standard Music Numbers (ISMN) has been automated to give comfort to clients to apply for them electronically wherever they were in Ghana.
