Uganda Community Libraries Association workshop

ugcla 3.jpgUgCLA began its operations as a committee of the National Book Trust of Uganda, and was successfully granted independent status as an NGO in July 2007. The association was officially launched in August the same year. It is working in affiliation with other NGOs, notably... Friends of African Village Libaries (FAVL) in the United States and Ka Tutandike in Britain and Uganda. It is also receiving substantial support from the US Embassy, which will fund the first distribution of grants to members, as well as the first training sessions. The association is made up of two categories of members: institutions (community libraries) and individuals who might wish to establish such libraries themselves. http://www.ugcla.org/aboutus.htm  Last week UgCLA hosted a workshop for community librarians... below are some photos.  I'll get a link to more photos and summary of the workshop soon.
