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!

Georgia teacher helps out!
Teacher Nancy Wilson and her mother recently partnered with African Library Project and FAVL to send off almost 80 boxes of high quality children's books that Nancy had been collecting following decades of service as an elementary school teacher. The books are now en route via container to school libraries being setup under a program organized by African Library Project and their local NGO partners. if you are a teacher or student in the U.S. and want to organize book drives for English-speaking libraries in Africa, then definitely get in touch with ALP- they are doing great work. And don;t let me not mention Books for Africa, another great organization that helps supply all sorts of libraries with books.
