📚✨ Why does every community need a public library?

At , Dr. Raphael James DrRaphael James and Odufa Onaulogho Odufa 👸 explored the powerful role libraries play in building thriving communities.

From providing access to learning and cultivating a reading culture to creating opportunities for imagination, creativity, and transformation, they reminded us that a library is far more than a place filled with books.

A library is a centre for learning, a gateway to opportunity, and the heartbeat of a community that wants to thrive. ❤️📖

Investing in libraries means investing in a generation that can read, think, create, and go further.

📚✨ Adventure came alive at the Popup Library Tent!

At , Joshua O. Adeloye Adeloye Joshua led an engaging storytime session featuring his book 13th Floor. The children were completely immersed, giving the story their rapt attention from beginning to end. 👀📖

It was a wonderful blend of adventure, curiosity, and meaningful lessons that kept young readers engaged throughout.

Thank you, Joshua. ❤️

A first-time participant shares how the Parents' Workshop opened her eyes to choosing the right school, understanding every child's unique needs, and never comparing children.

We're glad the experience was inspiring, and we can't wait to welcome her back! ❤️📚

🎨🖌️ Creativity flowed freely at !

The SipnPaint experience, beautifully hosted once again by CHILDREN'S ART STUDIO, gave children the opportunity to explore their creativity in a fun, relaxed, and colourful environment.

With patient guidance every step of the way, young participants transformed blank canvases into beautiful works of art, making memories that will last long after the festival.

A huge thank you to CHILDREN'S ART STUDIO for returning to the Akada Children's Book Festival and adding yet another unforgettable splash of colour to the experience. We can't wait to create with you again next year! ❤️🎨
