Holly's blog from Luboto library in Zambia
The Luboto library is part of Fountains fo Hope, an organization that helps street kids. Holly has been volunteering at the library as a Consulting Librarian under the Nasser Sharify Fellow for International Librarianship program. She is studying at Pratt Institute's School of Information and Library Science, and working as a librarian trainee at Brooklyn Public Library. The blog is excellent, featuring Holly's recollections of conversations with readers and youth who come to the library as a respite from the streets.
