Here is a way to scroll a text on LCD screen:

// C++ code
#include <Adafruit_LiquidCrystal.h>
String text="Hello & Karokh";
Adafruit_LiquidCrystal lcd_1(0);
void setup(){
  lcd_1.begin(16, 2);
}
void loop()
{
  for(int i=0;i<16;i++){
    lcd_1.clear();
    lcd_1.setCursor(i, 0);
    lcd_1.print(text);
    if(i+text.length()>16){
    int y = i+text.length()-16;
      int row=0;
      for(int j=text.length()-y;j<text.length();j++){
      lcd_1.setCursor(row, 0);
        row++;
    lcd_1.print(text[j]);
      }
    }
    delay(200);
  } 
}

Hi,
If you have any difficulties with your project,
explain the difficulty.
Inform which arduino you are using.
Post a schematic of your project. It can be done freehand.
