How the Book Bunk is Restoring Public Libraries Across Nairobi

In this episode, my co-host Jane O'Brien Davis and I chat with Marion Anvango at Book Bunk. The Book Bunk is working to restore some of Nairobi's most iconic public libraries into sites of heritage, public art, collective memory, knowledge production, shared experiences, cultural leadership, and information exchange. We explore their diverse programming and Book Bunk's approach to making libraries more inclusive and accessible while cultivating a sense of belonging for the local community. In this episode, you'll learn about: - How they involve the community in the restoration of public libraries - Their experiential, digital, architectural, and social approach to restoration - Their efforts to make library services more accessible for those living with disabilities - Why public libraries matter for cities - And much more Guest: Marion Anvango, Book Bunk, bookbunk.org Co-Host: Jane O'Brien Davis, @janeobd
