Planning And Completing A Book Drive For Malawi, Karen R. Mcelfresh, Laura J. Hall, Patricia Repar

Posters and Presentations

In the Spring of 2017, our library conducted a book drive for the Malawi College of Health Sciences in Blantyre, Malawi. The College’s library serves about 700 students, as well as health care professionals from a neighboring hospital. However, the library lacks sufficient resources, with most of their books being outdated or in poor condition, which diminishes health care quality in Malawi.
