In 2008 the International Literature Festival Berlin launched the Literature for Africa Campaign<\/strong>. Our goal \u2013 over an intended period of ten years \u2013 is to facilitate the donation of books to libraries in Africa. Through this campaign, we hope to improve the state of African libraries and to foster and expand access to literature.
This campaign is calling upon private households, publishers and other donors and sponsors to donate literary works to African libraries or to buy books in local bookshops. We have sent questionnaires to libraries requesting the language and genre of books that would be most useful to them. We now have profiles from over 80 libraries. A condition of their participation is confirmation from the finance ministry in their respective countries that we can send the books without paying customs.
Monetary donations are required in order to cover possible transport costs or to buy books from sellers in Africa as a way of supporting regional publishers and book stores. 
Below is a list of participating libraries as well as account information for monetary donations.

If you wish to make a donation or to help with the initiative, please write to us:

literature.for.africa@literaturfestival.com
or
internationales literaturfestival berlin
Chausseestra\u00dfe 5
D-10115 Berlin

In anticipation of numerous donations and with best wishes, I remain sincerely yours,

Ulrich Schreiber
Director of the international literature festival berlin (ilb)
