Rural Libraries Advancement









At a time of scarce resources, sticking together is a strategy worth pursuing. Libraries close to each other have formed clusters to exchange material and experiences in library development.
RLRDP has encouraged exchange visits across the country's provinces of Manicaland, Mashonaland West, Masvingo, Midlands, Matabeleland North and Matabeleland South.
Through these visits library members have been able to learn how other regions with a culture and language different from theirs tackle various community projects with knowledge and information obtained from the library.
This has allowed the conducting of refresher courses in librarianship and further provision of library material.
A newsletter is used to link these clusters.
