In the town of Maroua, in the far north of Cameroon, there has been no public library for years.

It is to fill this gap that the association

Lire au Sahel

was created in 2018

, which offers reading workshops, activities, and operations for children in hospitals.

Ulrich Talla Wamba, the director of the African Observatory of Publishing Professionals (OAPE) is with us in
