Be a lifelong student,

how do i participate?
Participation is easy! Just click on “Register to Read” at the bottom of this page. You will share your name, age, and email address using Google Forms, and in the upcoming days African Library Project will send you an email on exactly how to register. If you are under the age of 14, the approval of a parent or guardian is required.
how do i fundraise?
Ask adults you know to make a pledge based on how much you read during the three weeks of Together We Read! Pledges can be a certain amount of money per minute or a flat amount for all the reading you do. The money raised during Together We Read! will go toward bringing libraries to children in Africa.
