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.  The library club aims to support over 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.
