FAVL short presentation Jan 2011
FAVL provides community libraries in West and East Africa that offer books, storytelling, games, singing, and dancing to help children and adults discover the joy of reading. The libraries also host summer reading camps and provide facilities like latrines to encourage reading and learning. FAVL shares statistics on its African libraries and describes opportunities for volunteers through its study abroad program or financial donations.
Fairy Tales For Kids
Fairy tales and children's stories have been told for centuries to entertain young minds. Some classics include Cinderella, Goldilocks, and The Little Mermaid. Reading skills are best developed from an early age through activities like reading classes, engaging with favorite characters, and building a home library. Stories have evolved from early hieroglyphics and tablets to the wide variety of books, audiobooks, films and online content available today that educate and bring enjoyment to readers of all ages.
FAVL Intro for Chen Proposal
FAVL started with one small library in Burkina Faso and has since partnered with communities across Africa and supporters worldwide to help libraries grow. FAVL aims to develop a culture of reading by encouraging people to read for pleasure as well as purpose. FAVL trains and supports local librarians who serve their own communities and look for ways to improve local libraries by adding new books to attract, motivate, and satisfy readers of all types, including through popular summer reading camps that help children's reading, writing, and public speaking skills.

Children literature: A Potent Tool in the Hands of Absentee Parents
Children literature remains the focus of discussions among those concerned with the positive socialisation of children within the African society. However, how it can serve for the socialisation of children by the home has not been clearly understood. This paper discusses the tangible role children literature can play in the socialisation process. It specifically focuses on the way the absentee parent(s) can effectively use children literature as a tool of child training. It outlined the nature of children literature as it exists in the Nigerian society. It identified some important techniques such as didactism, journey motif, child abuse, characterisation, etc., which writers use to convey their messages in Nigerian children literature. It identified how writers use aesthetics to attract, keep and teach children the needed morality in the society. It concludes by outlining the way that the teacher/parent can effectively bring to life children literature to youngsters and thus engage it for positive socialisation of children within the African social milieu.

Since ancient times, adults have entertained children with folktales and stories that were passed down orally. As these oral traditions developed, written children's literature emerged, starting with Aesop's Fables in 400 AD. Over subsequent centuries, children's books evolved from instructional texts to include illustrated stories and books intended solely for pleasure reading in the 18th-19th centuries. Today, children's literature encompasses many genres and formats.

The document discusses two initiatives by Friends of African Village Libraries to create locally produced reading materials for children in rural Burkina Faso. The first initiative involved creating photo books using photographs taken by volunteers in villages. Over 60 photo books on topics like local jobs, riddles, and stories were produced. The second initiative established a multimedia center in Houndé to produce pamphlet-style books written by local authors. Ten initial books were created on topics like dreams of going to school and the story of an orphan who succeeds. Both types of locally produced books have been widely read and generated interest among rural readers.
