Literacy & Libraries Initiative
Building reading cultures and strengthening library access across communities.
Making Books More Accessible
The Literacy & Libraries Initiative supports stronger reading cultures by helping communities access books, libraries, and spaces for reading and learning.
Through book drives, reading clubs, mobile library initiatives, and direct support for public and school libraries, the initiative works to make reading more accessible to children, young people, and communities.
What We Do
Practical programmes that support reading, learning, and access to books and library resources.
Book Drives
Collecting and providing books to communities, schools, and public spaces where access to reading materials is limited.
Reading Clubs
Creating welcoming spaces where readers can meet, discuss books, share ideas, and develop lasting reading habits.
Mobile Libraries
Taking books and reading opportunities beyond traditional library spaces and into communities.
Library Support
Providing direct support to public and school libraries to strengthen access to books and reading resources.
Building Reading Communities
Access to books is an important part of building a strong reading culture. The initiative works with communities and institutions to create more opportunities for people to find, read, and engage with books.
From schools and public libraries to community reading spaces, the programme supports environments where reading can become a regular and shared part of everyday life.
A stronger reading culture begins with access to books and spaces where people can read.
Supporting a Culture of Reading
The Literacy & Libraries Initiative is part of IBAFEST’s commitment to making books, reading, and literary engagement more accessible across communities.
By supporting libraries, creating reading opportunities, and connecting people with books, the initiative helps strengthen the foundations for lifelong reading and learning.
