Hi Wazuans,

I'm looking for a quiet public library in Nairobi,
Any ideas are welcome.

lol kwani what happened to them cz in my days they used to be quiet??

World bank upperhill - entrance on the side - not main gate. And I think they still give free internet access but have blocked certain sites for obvious reasons. you need only sign in and look like you are doing some bona fide research. meant to strengthen SMME capacity and have research backed business. Also lots of useful resources.

If Buru Buru is your neighbourhood - KNLS is right there after kenol near Phase II. Happened to pass by a few weeks ago and I must say I was impressed - both with the content, the modernity and most of all that the kids floors were full of kids on a Saturday.

Checked out their fiction section and was pleased to see some of my favourite authors like Stephen King and Wilbur Smith.

Not sure if British Council still operate their library...somewhere in upperhill? I suppose because of al qaeda and al kebab some things might be frozen...

JKML, uon, Top floor, so silent that its almost macabre.

...Thought a library is a place where people go to converse with books...Ama watu wameanza kupandana, sorry, kupendana huko?

That place is always full getting space is a night mare chelewa kidogo and your done for...btw we should be having more libraries in this town.

I think there are very good and quiet libraries in town. Try Satima.
