- **Event Start and End Date**: Thu, 26 Feb, 2026 at 06:00 pm – Thu, 26 Feb, 2026 at 07:45 pm
- **Event Description**: Join us for a screening of How to Build  a Library, a 100-minute, German and Kenyan documentary. In 2018, Shiro Koinange, a celebrated novelist, and Angela Wachuka, a visionary publisher, quit their jobs to restore a dilapidated colonial-era library in bustling downtown Nairobi. Horrified at the condition of the historical building, they successfully lobbied city officials to take over the management of the library. With zero experience in building, the pair find themselves with a gargantuan task ahead. With an undying passion for books and finding funds where least expected, they activate an army of homegrown artists, intellectuals, tech developers, architects and writers, all energized to transform the space into a technological hub of creativity and learning for future generations.
