13 Teachers and 70 Students from 7 Secondary Schools in Dar Es Salaam had the opportunity to visit the Tanzania Library Service Board (TLSB) in Dar Es Salaam Region. The schools attended were Mugabe, Malamba Mawili, Kiluvya, Fahari, Makumbusho, Twiga, and Goba Secondary Schools.

During the visit, they learned about the library management, including Proper book reserves and storage, Cataloging, and Library membership services.
Students had a blast with a heated debate! It was girls versus boys, the title of the debate was “Education is better than money.” Girls were on the opposing side while boys were on the proposing side. In the end, the girls totally nailed it. It was super fun and we all learned a lot.

The tour was educational and insightful. We extend special thanks to our partners, Karimjee Foundation for their support. We also appreciate the management team of the Tanzania Library Service Board, including Dr. Rehema Ndumbaro, the Acting Director; Ms. Mwajuma Mchomvu, Head of the Children’s, Primary, and Secondary Library Department; Mr. Amir Ali, the librarian; and the entire staff for their warm hospitality.
