Executive Director of the Ghana Library Authority (GLA), Hayford Siaw has stated that Yvonne Nelson’s recently published book will have to go through scrutiny and approval processes before it can be stocked in Ghana’s public libraries.
The Ghanaian popular actress, film producer, entrepreneur and advocate, Yvonne Nelson in her recently released book ‘I Am Not Yvonne Nelson’ has chronicled the events of her life.
However, the controversial revelations of her love affairs with award-winning artiste Sarkodie in the book has sparked a lot of public discussion since its launch.
When asked whether the GLA will stock Yvonne Nelson’s book ‘I am not Yvonne Nelson’, Mr. Siaw said “It has to go through an approval process which has not been done and so once the acquisition team looks at it and make a recommendation why not?”
He explained that the Ghana Library Authority has an acquisition team that scrutinizes materials to ascertain their appropriateness and also establish which of the target group will benefit from the material.
“Of course it is an interesting read from what I have learned so far” the Executive Director added.
Narrating the incident on Chapter 8 from pages 88-95 of her book launched at Peduase Lodge on Sunday, June 18, the ‘Sin City’ actress said Sarkodie and his manager accompanied her to a clinic at Mamprobi to get the foetus removed after a failed attempt with some pills recommended by a friend.
“I had gone for a pregnancy test to confirm what becomes the most obvious conclusion for a sexually active young woman who misses her monthly flow. I was in the company of Karen. And when the test result was ready, I wasn’t strong enough to open it. She did and declared the verdict.
