Library ends drama competition

According to her, the Library is also involved in interactive sessions like storytelling, games, drama etc and can also address moral issues like comportment.
Mrs. Conteh opined that through drama her institution believes they can reach the goal of letting the kids learn faster about the Library Board. She welcomed the participating Schools for witnessing the finals between Tabernacle and J.T Reffell in the primary category and Kissy Municipal and D.T Akibo-Betts Junior Secondary Schools. She thanked the Sierra Leone Book Trust (SALBOT) for donating cartoons of books that were used as prizes to the participating schools.
Announcing the results after the Drama Competition the Chief Judge Mr. Hassan Sannoh said that the judges were very impressed with the performances as the finalists put up a very impressive performance.
