The Opening Of Ghana’s First Subscription-Model Library Changed Lives, But The Founder Says It’s Not Enough

WORDS Posted: July 28, 2019 6:30 am

The founder of Libreria Ghana opened with 1300 volumes in 2018, but she soon learned that having a cozy library wasn’t enough for her, or for her country. She doesn’t want to be seen as a hero. “To deny the feeling of pleasure and, indeed, self-satisfaction that comes from knowing you’ve made a difference to an individual, a community and, by extension, a society, would be to deny being human. After all, the payoff of self-sacrifice is often self-fulfillment. There are no saviors, not even Black ones.” – LitHub
