BOOK BOX LIBRARY CLUB

by Christianna Foundation

Book Box Library Club (BBLC) is a mobile, pop-up library service which was first piloted in 2020 and is currently being rolled out in primary schools across Ona-Ara, Oyo State. BBLC officially launched in 10 primary schools in the 2021 academic year. The library club aims to support approximately 20,000 children from 102 primary schools with bi-weekly library days. Working within under-resourced schools in the rural local authority of Ona-Ara, children are able to borrow relevant and relatable books, suitable to their reading level, for use both at school and at home.
