Libraries in Action
Our Library Partners in Africa

Our partners in Africa work with us to start or improve 30-60 libraries every year.  They screen and select local library projects through an application process, clear the books through customs, then warehouse and distribute the books to their destination.  They also train teacher-librarians, measure progress and ensure each library thrives over time.  We are proud to collaborate with our African partners.

These pages have been written by our partners to give you their perspective on our work together.
