Busolwe Public Library

The Busolwe Public Library (BPL) was founded by the Lunyole Language Association (LLA) in 1996.  BPL is proudly the sole community library serving the new Butaleja District in Eastern Uganda.  As a member of the Uganda Community Libraries Association (UgCLA), BPL aims to improve the overall reading culture in the locality and to serve as an extension for learning beyond the classroom.

The BPL Board is chaired by Mr. Jonathan  Mayende (second from the right ) with assistance from other board members.  

Mr. Ivan Kaibo, the head librarian, and full-time volunteer Ms. Puresi, with her baby Cindy, spend six days a week running the library. To date, the library enjoys a total membership of 36, excluding dozens more who visit daily.  Surrounded by eight primary schools and seven secondary schools, BPL is frequented mostly by students and children in the neighbourhood who benefit from academic materials and storybooks in the library's collection.  Faculty members and elders in the community also borrow academic resources for research, storybooks for class materials, and other books for the occasional read.
