The paper highlights a school library service in a rural set up in Lilongwe, Malawi. It is a school library that has germinated from a ray of hope from the primary school staff, the surrounding community members and leaders (village chiefs, religious leaders, etc.) who garnered to support their children to access printed materials.
In conclusion, the paper details how the author and the IASL 2014 Children Book Award has boosted the primary school library window to the world and the promotion of reading and access to printed materials.
