The Mobile Library Program Description
Access to texts in schools as well as in homes is a pervasive issue in Uganda.
Access to books has traditionally been achieved through the investment of
public libraries in addition to the emerging trend of school-based libraries.
One of the ironic challenges with this approach is limited access. Books held
in physical spaces often limit their availability only to those who are able
to physically access that space, both by distance as well as by membership.
Further, texts are often kept under “lock & key” in order to protect these
highly prized items at the risk of not using them to their potential. These
policies do not allow students to check out books and take them home. Without
access to books, children will often fail to create a positive, consistent
habit of reading, impacting their long-term academic success.
PANGEA launched its Mobile Library Program to deliver a vast collection of
international and local storybooks to homes and schools across Wakiso, Gulu,
and Imvepi Refugee Settlement. Each month, families and schools receive books
for their children and students to read in exchange for a small Netflix-like
subscription fee. This model lowers the cost to access and increases the
variety of books that children are exposed to, helping create a culture of
reading in the home and classroom. In turn, these small contributions sustain
the program in perpetuity.
