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!

Fabulous photo indeed! Can you tell us a little more about the photo - do you know what book she is reading, the location, etc.?
I can't quite read the title, but the shot I believe is in Bereba, Burkina Faso.
