i am curating a list of libraries for people in Lagos- where you can read and borrow books- with every details you need to know; like membership fees and all. Some are pretty affordable. They even have contemporary African literature books too; including the one I registered with

People say there are no libraries in Nigeria, and the few that exist rarely carry current African literature or classics.
But some of us are still building for readers.
We are currently working on a library space, because the reading community deserves places to read &Connect.

By the way, WHERE ARE THE LIBRARIES IN NIGERIA??? We should be asking important questions fgs! I've borrowed more books from the library in six months of grad school than I did in 10+ years of reading, writing, and studying in Nigeria. Where are the libraries????

@yinkanubi @pholer @IJKCBOOK @harrydaniyan @AyoOyalowo @AyoShonaiya That bucket sent me straight back to boarding house in FGC Janguza, Kano.
I had never been outside my father’s house which had running water.
In Janguza, we had to use our 28l metal bucket to fetch water from 100m away for house work &bath.
It was traumatic in the first year.
