The Kanifing Municipal Library will provide a safe space for students to study & offer learning resources that will complement pupils’ learning in schools. Without this, pupils will struggle to compete globally.
In the municipality, there is no public library where children can go and educate themselves. I am very excited about the impact the Kanifing Municipal Library will have on the education & well-being of children & youths.– Kanifing Mayor Taleb Ahmed Bensouda
