KNUST Library System Welcomes 2025/2026 National Service Personnel

The KNUST Library System officially welcomed its 2025/2026 batch of National Service Personnel on 8th December, 2025, at the Prempeh II Library Building. The orientation brought together newly posted personnel, senior members of the library system, and departmental heads to familiarize the personnel with the operations and expectations of the system.

The session was opened by the University Librarian, Dr. Richard Bruce Lamptey, who warmly welcomed the new personnel and congratulated them on their posting. In his address, Dr. Lamptey emphasized the importance of professionalism, discipline, teamwork, and a strong desire to learn. He reminded them that the National Service period is a unique opportunity that will add immensely to their knowledge base, especially within an academic environment that thrives on research, innovation, and effective information management.

The personnel were later introduced to the various departments within the KNUST Library System. Heads of units explained their roles, highlighted ongoing activities, and described how each department supports the university’s teaching, learning, and research agenda. This guided the personnel to understand the workflows, expectations, and the collaborative nature of library services at KNUST.

Dr. Lamptey encouraged them to work hard, noting that the attitude they bring to the role will significantly influence the value they gain from the service year. He urged them to stay committed, ask questions, and embrace the learning experience fully.

The orientation concluded with an interactive session where the personnel engaged the facilitators with questions and shared their expectations for the year.

The KNUST Library System looks forward to a productive and impactful year with the new National Service Personnel and remains dedicated to fostering a supportive environment for growth and professional development.
