We would like to thank everyone who supported our 2020 African Library Project book drive – from those who donated books to those who donated funds for shipping. THANK YOU!

We started the book drive this winter and were interrupted by the pandemic. We did not know if we would be able to finish the book drive or how ALP would be getting books to Africa.

We waited and finally learned we could still finish our book drive. We waited some more and just this week during Phase 2 reopening finished sorting and packing. We sent 626 books to a secondary school in Malawi. The books first travel to New Orleans where ALP will put them on container ships to Africa.

We are so happy to share the joy of reading!

On April 18th, we had our first meeting as 2020 ALP Youth Ambassadors.

The Youth Ambassador program is “a unique volunteer leadership program designed for youth who are passionate about helping others. Through experiential learning opportunities, workshops, and events, the YA program empowers youth to make a real difference in their local communities and in our African Partner Countries.”

We are excited to be part of a bigger effort to educate communities about the need for books around the world. Some of us have also joined the ALP Book Club and are reading A Fish in A Tree together.
