Libraries Across Africa

A digitally enhanced, community-based, revenue-generating network of libraries on the frontiers of broadband connectivity. Librii is an environment focused on knowledge creation. More than just the Internet, Librii uniquely packages cutting-edge, locally-tailored, open-access content that drives users not to learn, create, and disseminate their knowledge. Set up as a community-based, franchised network, Librii is run by local entrepreneurs and staffed by librarians. This model ensures that resources are constantly up-to-date, replenished, and relevant. As a franchise, each library will be part of an integrated network, speaking to and learning from one another. Librii was founded in 2010 as Libraries Across Africa, its parent organization, which is a registered non-profit in the State of Texas. Librii’s application for 501c3 status with the IRS is currently pending.
