How to Build a Library
The Library is pleased to host this special screening of the award-winning documentary - How to Build a Library. The film tells the story of two tenacious Nairobi women - Shiro Koinange and Angela Wachuka - who decide to transform what used to be a whites-only library until 1958 into a vibrant cultural hub. Along the way, they must navigate local politics, raise millions for the rebuild, and confront the lingering ghosts of Kenya’s colonial past.
The documentary will be shown in the Library theatre.
