ccess to knowledge is a fundamental right, yet millions of people in underserved communities across Africa and beyond face barriers to digital access, literacy, and information equity. Libraries, as community-centered institutions, play a pivotal role in bridging this gap by providing access to free knowledge, digital resources, and skills development.
This session explores how libraries serve as community hubs for open knowledge, providing digital literacy training, access to knowledge, and fostering inclusivity.

This session will also highlight impact stories and case studies from KEY Libraries' initiatives, showcasing successful collaborations where libraries have transformed into hubs for knowledge-sharing, fact-checking, and content creation.
