ABOUT LSA
A leading initiative dedicated to recognizing and celebrating the exemplary contributions of librarians across the African continent through storytelling.
Founded by Sylvester Ebhonu (The Digital Librarian), the programme showcases the transformational work of librarians in promoting information management, literacy, and library growth through monthly live-streamed interviews with virtual participation.
Librarians in Africa do so much in promoting information/digital literacy, knowledge management and addressing societal issues like education inequality and information access, yet their relevance seem to not be well represented due to the stereotype of them as passive book keepers. This underrepresentation of librarians in Africa is a serious problem and it makes many people see libraries as just book storage facilities rather than centers of learning, creativity and community development.
The Librarian Spotlight Africa (LSA) seeks to address these issues by shining a spotlight on the exemplary contributions of African librarians providing them a platform to share their experiences to not only inspire the next generation, but also to shape the future of libraries throughout Africa
Who is our Librarian of the Month?
Do you want to be featured or recommend someone?
LSA is a movement to redefine the role of librarians in global development. Beyond recognition we facilitate other initiatives such as:
- Capacity Building and Mentorship Programmes
- Research and Advocacy Initiatives
- Community Engagement Projects
- Recognition Programs
The Google My Library campaign is one of the projects of LSA aimed at empowering libraries in Nigeria, and potentially Africa, to become more visible and accessible through Google Business Profile Listings.
While we believe our work is making meaningful strides in transforming professional practices, community perception, and engagement, the full impact of the LSA programme is still being evaluated.
We invite you to be a part of our impact assessment by participating in this survey. Your insights will help us: Click here to Provide Feedback/Review for LSA!
