Ngong Community Library
The Kenya National Library Services, in collaboration with the Nation Media Foundation, aims to establish libraries in 14 counties across the country. The proposed initiative involves utilizing Industrial Trough 5 (IT5) as a material for the library structure to ensure cost- effectiveness and rapid implementation. The first library will be established in Ngong, within Kajiado Sub-County, with the generous donation of a 1-acre plot of land by the Diocese of Ngong in Ngong Township. The Ngong Community Library project is designed to create an inclusive and accessible space for promoting literacy and community development. By providing such a space, we aim to eliminate barriers that may hinder individuals from accessing books and other educational resources. The library will foster a welcoming atmosphere, catering to people of all socioeconomic backgrounds.
The library’s design strives to provide a sense of arrival, offer a sustainable site, maximize connection to the outdoors, and allow ample natural light while remaining memorable and approachable. Below are some of the project’s key objectives: Inclusive Atmosphere, Book and Material Provision, Community Engagement and Computer and Internet Access.
