    I thank God for this oppotunity because as the Bible says , my people suffer because of lack of knowledge.Now with these libraries we will get as much knowledge as we need.This library is state of the art and all other libraries should copy the Buru example.I love it.

    Thanks for compiling this. Are the subscription fees still the same in 2013? And are there any other requirements for joining the libraries to borrow books?
    Thanks!

      I would suggest that government should set up more libraries within the country especially in the learning institutions….

    Knls is doing a wonderful job by empowering people with knowledge, keep up the good work, I am working on a project on the status of library resource digitization in public libraries for my masters degree in library and information science and intends to carry out the research based on the knls Nairobi branch. I hope you will partner with me as I try to demonstrate the importance of library resource digitization.
    Thanks for the tremendous service you are offering to humanity for ‘knowledge is power’

    Dear Sir/Madam,

    Information Scientist or Librarian in your institution? I have
    recently finished my Diploma studies in Library and Information
    Science at Inoorero University.I am now looking for a place to do my
    practice and work as I wait to further my education.

    I have been active in varies fields and extensive knowledge related to
    information.In a past position as a student leader,treasurer,I
    acquired skills in organization,IT,budgeting,supervision of funds and
    account management.

    In my studies i acquired several skills in: Archival
    Studies,Communication Skills,Conservation and Restoration of
    Information Materials,Dissemination of Information,Entrepreneurship

    I would really appreciate it if you could accept me in your

    ati i will become a librarian.

  16. I am writing to introduce to you, a global, online, non profit project that we launched for and about libraries, called Libraries of Our Lives.
    The goal of the project is to preserve the stories of today’s libraries in the voices and memories of users, before libraries are transformed by the inevitable digitization or are phased out.

    Please check us out at : http://librariesofourlives.wordpress.com/
    And read about the libraries that are already included. We have already over 30 libraries from as many as 10 countries.
    We hope you enjoy the posts from different countries.

    You may also find our FB community page : https://www.facebook.com/pages/Libraries-of-Our-Lives/429330963764050?ref=hl

    We would be honored if any of the readers would share a story on our blog (just a paragraph of personal experience will do.).
    It would be wonderful for more people to know about the beautiful libraries in Kenya.
