Publishing in Africa at the London Book Fair By Katie Isbester

In further support of the Nasio Trust’s Library appeal, Katie Isbester talks about her recent trip to the London Book Fair and a fortuitous discovery!

I didn’t mean to go to the talk. There were some 30,000 people at the London Book Fair and I was supposed to meet at least a few of them. Instead I found myself going to a talk on publishing in Africa because of Nasio Trust. I knew it was trying to build a library, the first of its kind in Western Kenya, and I was rather curious.

Eunice’s Story

My name is Eunice Juma and am 23 years old. I come from a small village called Buchirinya in Mumias Town.

I am a total orphan after the death of both my parents.My childhood wasn’t a good one because I had to be relocated every now and then to different relatives which means I had to change schools too that affected me in one way or the other but the good part of it is that I went through education despite all the challenges.

The Value of Libraries by Katie Isbester

In support of our ‘Library Appeal’, Katie Isbester discusses the importance of libraries in our communities.

Every community, every family and every person needs a place to belong. We all need a building where we feel safe and comfortable. However, we need space for growth. Libraries provide this space to learn, assemble thoughts, and find where we individually belong in a world that often feels vast. In her blog The Value of Libraries, Katie Isbester delves into why 94% of Britain feels libraries are essential.
