According to her, there are so many positive values hidden in books and past cultures but because Ghanaians are not reading, many people only exhibit negative values. Speaking on What is Next? Dr Asamoah-Hassan called for the provision of a national library as libraries have a role to play in national development“Ghana is long overdue… there are other countries with national libraries and we don’t have one. I’m appealing to those who are responsible that this is key, we need a national library of Ghana and there many things that the national library can do for the country,” she said.
