Friends of African Village Libraries

A site devoted to thoughts about books, reading, and libraries relevant to Africa mostly by Michael Kevane, co-Director of Friends of African Village Libraries, a small 501(c)(3) non-profit devoted to helping village and small community libraries in Africa. I am also an economist at Santa Clara University. Other frequent contributors are Kate Parry, FAVL-East Africa director, and Anne-Reed Angino, FAVL networker extraordinaire!

Tina Brown on Christmas in America

For the New Yorkers especially, a nice piece in London's The Spectator on why we're different... And Bruce and Rosemary Harris's work to establish the Chalula Community Library in Tanzania is featured! Hats off to all the Chalula donors, and especially the village leadership in Mvumi, including the indefatigable Joseph Biseko. Here's one more picture from Chalula, at the opening last week. Enjoy the holiday season.
