The Coronavirus pandemic has severely impacted communities around the world and has limited access to information and learning for millions of children. Zaqi Alibhai interviews Syokau Mutonga and Sahar McTough of Book Bunk Trust in Nairobi about their work in three branches of Nairobi’s McMillan Memorial public libraries.
Syokau and Sahar share their experiences working to refurbish, restore, catalogue, and digitise over 100,000 books, newspapers and images, with some dating back more than 100 years. Their work also involves building community, with a heavy focus on the promotion of education and social welfare of historically underserved communities, especially the youth.
