Children's librarian in Entebbe

🇺🇬 Entebbe, Central Region, Uganda
Entebbe Branch Library

For 26 years I look after the shelves, the card catalog and the regulars at Entebbe Branch Library. Some of my favorite visitors were children who came for the heating and stayed for the books.

What gifts mean to Janet: I'd put a gift toward a reading corner at the nearby school.
