Live-in for Literacy is taking place again this year on the second floor foyer of the Irving K. Barber Learning Centre. Three students are “camping” at the Learning Centre between January 27 and February 3, raising funds to build schools, libraries and other educational infrastructure in developing countries.
This year, the goal this year is to raise $27,000 through participating universities for the construction of six libraries in India. You can find out more about this inspiring initiative here.
UBC Library is proud to welcome the Live-in for Literacy initiative once again – please come by the Learning Centre and show your support!
Note: this year’s Live-in for Literacy initiative was covered by Global BC television news.
