Lubuto Library Project Lusaka Zambia Livingstone Zambia Lusaka There are currently five lubuto libraries serving children and youth across zambia. we work through a flagship model library in lusaka and a model rural library in southern province to train librarians, teachers and community members, building a network of lubuto libraries that are owned and sustained by local organizations. On 2 may 2024 we celebrated the renovated and expanded lubuto model library, the new lubuto center for training and administration, and the whole lubuto library network in lusaka. The lubuto library partners, working in zambia for the past 15 years, established three libraries focussed on the needs of children and youth, providing books, technology, and library programming, as well as serving as safe havens. The lubuto library project grew from the great success of a makeshift library established in a converted shipping container at the fountain of hope in lusaka, zambia, in 2001, which has enabled users to pass the secondary school exam and has proven completely sustainable after 5 years with no external inputs.

The smashing success of that library has sparked an ambitious plan by the lubuto library project to build 100 public libraries across africa in the next 10 years. that first library started as little more than an unofficial reading room at the fountain of hope, which is a shelter in lusaka. Llp has been mandated to work with the zambia library services (zls), a unit in the ministry, to develop the lubuto library model in the country. in particular, the government recognizes that high quality library services to children and youth can contribute to bringing about high quality education (sdg 4) and gender equity (sdg 5).
