Students of Enugu State University of Science and Technology (ESUT) have been advised to make the library their second home.

University Librarian, Dr Uzoamaka Ogwo gave the advice during the orientation programme to mark ESUT’s 45^th Matriculation Ceremony.

Speaking on the topic: “Use of the University Library” Dr Ogwo explained that the library remains the warehouse of knowledge and urged the students to make it a habit by visiting it daily.

“The library is central to your academic being. Students who do not visit the library are considered not to be healthy academically. Library is the warehouse of knowledge because there you find answers to your research questions and acquire more knowledge.” she said.

She explained how students could register in the library and as well borrow books to read at home

“After paying your school fees, you are expected to present evidence of payment to the Library and you will be issued a card. The card gives you access to borrow books from the library to ready or do research for one month. 

“The difference between a first-class student and one who got third class is on how often you visited the library. Make the library you best friend. What you owe your parents and guardian is a good certificate at the end of your programme here and the library is your best friend in achieving that. Remember, today’s readers and tomorrow’s leaders,” she concluded.
