About Lubuto Library Partners
LLP’s mission is to demonstrate how a locally owned network of dynamic, free libraries for African children and youth can enable them to develop the knowledge and skills to connect with their culture and community and participate fully in society. We provide a framework for libraries serving young people, exemplifying public libraries’ unique ability to include children and youth who are highly vulnerable and not in school. Lubuto libraries support the rights of all young people to equitable education and free expression in safe, accessible and supportive environments. With five currently operating libraries, the headline figures—over 1.8 million visits by nearly 185,000 children, and an average of 2,500 visits per week to a single library—point to both the extraordinary need and how Lubuto libraries meet it. LLP is looking for a Library Data Analyst who will be able to measure the impact of our dynamic library services.
Lubuto libraries serve as safe havens for all children and include all three components needed for successful public libraries:
comprehensive, balanced collections of highest quality children’s books, technology resources and other educational and enrichment materials;
dynamic programming offering education, psychosocial support and self-expression through reading, music, art, drama, computers, mentoring and other activities; and
ongoing, targeted outreach that brings young people into their library and brings library services to them.
Lubuto libraries are owned and operated by local community-based organizations whose mission and values align with ours. Supporting the network of locally owned libraries are an urban library model in Lusaka and a rural library model in Nabukuyu, Southern Province. The urban Lubuto Model Library, which is situated on grounds provided by Zambia’s education ministry, is a center for education, training, and administration of children’s library services.
