The Friends of Libraries in Ghana welcomes sponsorship from local businesses, corporations, families and individuals. The aim of sponsorship is to obtain funding or in-kind support to provide services and equipment that may not otherwise be available. The Board of Trustees of the Friends of Libraries in Ghana believes that libraries play an essential role in the quality of life of our citizens. As this important function, the library should be supported through public funding. Therefore, sponsorship revenue should only be used to fund optional additional services or new, “start up” services.
