A Likely Story Library

About this Project

Mulindi, Rwanda has a growing school but lacks a developed library, limiting the amount of literacy and critical thinking the school can facilitate among its pupils. The project proposes the construction of a library room, the purchase of books, the retention of a librarian, formulating programs and classes for students and community members which directly supports the Rwanda Education Board's objective of fomenting a culture of reading in Rwanda. The library will inspire personal growth and will help close the gap of disconnect to the outside world.

The library has been built and the project participants are selecting books and ordering materials from several publishing houses in Kigali.

The library is now complete and students have taken such an interest in reading there that the librarian has scheduled hours for different grades to use the new facility. A meeting will be scheduled in the coming weeks to introduce parents and the surrounding community to the features and benefits of the new space.
