"MONTHLY BOOK CLUB AND BOOK READING"
Part of the mission of the Centre for Memories is to build leaders who are grounded in history and are equipped to serve with excellence. Through our monthly book club and our adult/children’s library (Oba Akwukwo Umu Aka), we seek to build a generation of young Igbo people with reading culture. Every month, the Centre designates a book to be read, drawing from its library and its link with Igbo authors. It invites the author or a distinguished personality to read excerpts from the book and encourage dialogue and discussion with visitors to the Centre.
