Project status: Ongoing

About the project

The Kafanchan public library was opened to the public on 18th March, 1975, making it the oldest public library in Southern Kaduna. It serves a population of 4,564,100 in the 12 local governments of the zone 3 in Kaduna State. The library provides a scholarly environment for students and teachers. In the wake of the covid epidemic, there has been an increasing public interest for the library to provide online services. In order to meet such a need, it is necessary to start a digitization process for the library.

Updates

Staff members have received digital literacy training to be able to operate the digital version of the library. Ambassadors for the library ensure awareness creation through social media reports.
