Title |
Quick glimpse at public and academic libraries in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia |
Date |
2008 |
Description |
Ethiopia's 80 million people continue to live in a country with poor infrastructure in the Horn of Africa region. The population of Addis Ababa is estimated at 10-15 million and libraries have just recently been given some recognition. When I first came to this country as an ALA-USIA Fellow in 1997, most people did not know the difference between a library and bookstore. I think that has changed somewhat today. |
