FAVL representative in bookstore in Ouaga

Under a fine rain in Ouagadougou, the national representative of FAVL-BF visited the Harmattan Burkina bookstore on September 7, 2020. Being a regular at bookstores in Ouagadougou in search of new Burkinabè novels, his visit allowed him to discover on the shelves the last two issues N° 15 and N ° 6 of the Kouka comic book series. A cartoon well appreciated by children and even adults. In his search through the bookstore, he became very interested in a book entitled: "The role of reading in education." This book will allow the each librarian to reinforce her knowledge about the importance of reading. Today’s visit consisted of the purchase of around thirty books for children and adults for the Humanitas library in Bobo-Dioulasso and other libraries.
