Libs for Africa!
Congratulations to the Australian Library Community!
 |
The 73rd IFLA World Library and Information Congress was held in Durban, South Africa between 19-23rd August 2007. The Australian Library Community raised funds to help African librarians who might not otherwise have had an opportunity to attend an international conference on their home continent. The final total raised was $11,200. |
Sincere thanks to contributing organisations/colleagues for your enthusiasm, support and generosity for Libs for Africa.
