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!

Where are the libraries?
FAVL friend Meredith Albert has been busy creating a Google Earth framework to start mapping all the community libraries in Africa... hey, why not organize one small chunk of all the world's information? If you have a library you want included in the database, leave a comment to this entry. The link to the Google Earth community site is here. In the picture, Kitengesa in Uganda is showing up in Sudan, but we'll fix that I promise!
