The library in Gwanda

The Library in Gwanda started in 1992, in a school in Jahunda, a part of Gwanda where a lot of people lives in small houses. 1994 I visited Gwanda together with Jackson Ndlovu (and my husband and father) Jackson showed us the spot in central Gwanda where the new library were to be built. He also showed us the plans how it would be in the future. And now 15 years later they are about to reach the goals. The new library started with one building, with a big hall filled with books, news papers, administration, toilets and so on. The library is open every day monday to friday in daytime. Schools are coming in, people come there to read the news paper and there is a photocopier to be used for a small sum. In Jahunda there is a branch library working a few days every week. Some years ago, Jackson and I made a website how it all started. You can read it on http:www.gwanda.se/lib

We would be happy if you make comments on this blog and help us to make it to a meeting place for all of us, all over the world that are intrested in the development of the Edward Ndlovu Memorial Library in Gwanda. We are also looking for people that are intrested to write about the Library and the schools in and around Gwanda. Just contact me, send your photos, text, links thoughts and so on, and I put it into the blog.
