The LCRC was built adjacent to Nyegina Secondary and Nyegina Primary Schools. In total, there
are about 1,500 students that attend the three schools. The location was chosen both for its
proximity to the three schools and its location at a crossroads that connects the Village of
Nyegina to three other neighboring villages.
The facility includes three separate buildings
that were designed with asymmetric roofs to
maximize natural light and airflow into the
buildings. This was purposefully done to create an environment that is conducive to learning.
The main building is the library building that
includes a lobby with comfortable chairs, tables for students to study, a children's area with a wheelchair accessible ramp, and a secure room for book reserves and staff to work. The second building includes a community seminar room and teacher resource center that is
equipped with ten computers.
LCRC AMBASSADORS
Adults and students are eligible to receive a free annual membership to the LCRC in exchange
for promoting the library's services. With their memberships, ambassadors can check out books to take back to their village to host reading circles with their families, friends, and neighbors.
Ambassadors that recruit new members to the LCRC gain points as part of an ongoing competition. The winners of the competition are then eligible to pick a favorite book from the library to keep for themselves.
