Impact Report
The request was meant to alleviate the poor reading culture of Nigerian students as well as stimulate a yearning for academic literature in our school. We had two empty libraries for both the primary and the secondary schools. With this donation, we were able to stock our libraries with the relevant literature capable of instilling the habits of reading in the children.
The stories in the novel and leisure books paint real-life situations in the minds of the children. Our librarians are now putting into practice skills learned in their post-graduate programmes on how to deliver engaging library lessons. The children in the same vein, see the library as a place to explore, discover and engage with teachers and other learning mates. Due to fun activities often practice in the library during their guided reading sessions, the children are now exposed to different arrays of high, middle, and low-frequency words for their own vocabulary development. All these and more were possible with the help of the donation received from Book2Africa.
The books have aided teachers in planning effective lesson delivery. It also encourages the teachers to look across curricula links of related literature.
The books have been very useful to the community as they have access to the ranges of student literature across years. Local community members especially educational authorities have access to our libraries. The remnant of the books was donated to the State Library for onward transmission to affected areas by the State Library Board.
