The Nkwanta South Municipal Hospital will also receive 300 pieces of flexible digital thermometers to help improve health care.
He added that the gesture is being replicated in Krachi West and Kadjebi Area programmes, which forms part of the Krachi-Nkwanta Cluster.
The municipal coordinating director (MCD), Joseph Abugre, thanked World Vision Ghana for the gesture.
Abugre encouraged school children to make it a habit to pass by the library and read after school.
Receiving the books on behalf of the Ghana Education Service, Jonathan Korsinah – the municipal director of education said, Nkwanta South Municipality is doing well in terms of education.
“This is evident in the fact that, in this year’s reading festival, a pupil was selected from Nkwanta South to represent the Oti Region at the national level.”
