High on the list of challenges faced by the new director is funding.
"We are facing budget problems, and we have a challenge of getting vacant positions replaced," he said.
Unaeze said he had spoken to the college administration and is awaiting now a response.
He also said that he is an optimist and has no doubt that he will receive the necessary support once the new college president is appointed.
"The way the change of president will affect the college is in the decision making process… Because we have to wait for the new leadership, it slows down on the requests we have made."
"However, it does not mean that the university will not support us, as the library plays an important role in supporting the mission of the university… I am optimistic that things will work well for us," the director said.
According to him, there are plans for the construction of a new library building, but those are still in the early stages.
The former acting director of library services, Dr. Rosemary Mokia, is now the head of acquisitions and serial department in the library.
