    "content": "I also support the fact that in most counties, we have one or two libraries. We need to create a situation where at least in every sub-county, we have one or two libraries. The reason being we have many learners in our primary and secondary schools and universities. When students go on vacation, they want to have places to study, research and discuss. At the moment, this is hard because most learners cannot borrow books from their universities. They can borrow one or two based on the limits of the library cards. But when they come for long holidays especially during the long holiday that was occasioned by emergence of Coronavirus epidemic, most learners could not find a place to borrow books. We should have at least two libraries in our sub-counties, so that learners will not be idling in villages. They will be borrowing books, reading them and returning them. It will be easier for our libraries to track borrowers since they will not run away because the libraries will be close to the villages. I support the board because I believe it will expand and modernise the existing libraries and those that will be formed. Nowadays, we have all moved from paper to digital platform. Learners will wish to visit libraries and find online books which they can read using computers and laptops. Therefore, the board must ensure that it modernises existing libraries and even those that will be built, so that they can meet the needs of the learners in the villages. The board will also help relook into the preservation of historical heritages and those materials which deal with our cultures. There are a few places to go to if you want to know historical cultures and happening. You need to go to the archives which are mostly in the cities.
