Mafaku Corner is a community library in Abuja, run by Mafaku, a nonprofit working to strengthen learning and expand access to knowledge. Explore our catalogue online, then visit us at Birch Creative Studio to borrow your next read.
How it works
Borrow from us in three steps, no complicated account setup, no library card or queue.
Bring a refundable deposit that covers the book's value (every book's deposit is shown in the catalog). Pay it by bank transfer from your account and get your full money back once the book is returned in good condition.
