Mrs Onuorah underscored the importance of reading for children and the need for more collaborations and sponsorships to promote such initiatives across the country. Ms Esiri said compared to the ZODML library at their office in Ikoyi, Lagos, which has a children’s section that receives 15 to about 40 kids everyday, the green library at NLN should accommodate more than 50 kids.“It was what inspired us to do this, we saw how hungry children were for books, they just sit down and read,” she said.

“This location is so strategic and Yaba is in the middle of the Island and mainland. It is an academic knowledge-based environment, so we believe that a lot of the parents here will bring their children,” she said.The NLN zonal director emphasised the need for partnerships with international bodies and agencies to replicate the idea beyond Lagos and cultivate the reading habit in children.

Ms Esiri said the intending partners can decide on areas they want to come in or suggest interventions.
