Hey Bunkers, we are 4 episodes into season 2 of #APalaceForThePeople podcast. The season deep dives into what Kenya's past can tell us about the present, informed by archival finds at McMillan Memorial Library, and their connection to key moments in Kenya’s history.

Library patronage at the #NBOLibraries being restored by Book Bunk is on the rise, with 60,199 users at Kaloleni, Eastlands & McMillan Memorial Libraries last year (a 32% increase from the previous year). Tune in to Monocle Radio w/Georgina Godwin for more library gospel 🙌🏾
