GBT provides books in English and the local language to primary schools in the selected districts to allow them to establish school libraries. In arranging the distribution of the books, the GBT gives special attention to the neediest institutions in Ghana. Rural areas are considered a priority. Children remain the focus of the GBT, and receive more than 60% of all books distributed. Ghanaian and imported books are also donated to primary schools, junior secondary schools and rural community libraries. In 2001, GBT established a children's library on its premises, including an electronic component. GBT selects books from an annotated list of titles supplied by donors. This system ensures that only appropriate and good-quality books are supplied; furthermore, subject areas may also be suggested. Members are invited to the Trust's warehouses in Accra and Kumasi to select appropriate titles in consultation with GBT staff. GBT also purchases and distributes locally published books.
