Stephen with BookAid film crew |
Check it out! A few months ago, the staff and members of our Mathare North/MYSA library welcomed a film crew from BookAid International, who visited the library, took a walk in Mathare Valley, and talked to children and adults about the role the library plays in their lives, especially during tough times like the post-election violence. The resulting short film is now on-line in the Books Change Lives section of the Book Aid Web Site. |
We loved reading about Malawi's William Kamkwamba, "The Boy Who Harnessed the Wind," on the BBC website -- especially the part about how it was access to a local village library that allowed William to educate himself, pursue his dream, and change his community. Libraries DO change lives!

Joseph from the KidsLibs Trust library in Laikipia, Sipili East, was featured in the October 2009 issue of the Libraries of Hope newsletter! You can read the entire article here. Libraries of Hope is a project that is republishing classic children's books for sales to families and schools on a subscription basis. They publish one carefully chosen title a month, and only print as many books as there are subscribers. By avoiding the costs of selling through bookstores, they are raising funds to support community library projects like KidsLibs Trust. |
