New in the Lending Library for Young Readers - Read with us!
Inspired by the many Indigenous-led movements across North America, We Are Water Protectors issues an urgent rallying cry to safeguard the Earth's water from harm and corruption--a bold and lyrical picture book written by Carole Lindstrom and vibrantly illustrated by Michaela Goade.
Two great-grandchildren ask their grandmother 15 questions about the man they remember as Grandad, and the world remembers as Nelson Mandela, the global icon of peace and forgiveness who spent 27 years in prison. They learn that he was a freedom fighter who put down his weapons for the sake of peace, and who then became the President of South Africa and a Nobel Peace Prize-winner, and realise that they can continue his legacy in the world today.
The 1619 Project’s lyrical picture book in verse chronicles the consequences of slavery and the history of Black resistance in the United States, thoughtfully rendered by Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Nikole Hannah-Jones and Newbery honor-winning author Renée Watson.

Reading is Fundamental
"The true university of these days is a collection of books". Thomas Carlyle
Some may ask, “Why read a book?” In response, books allow us to travel without leaving the house; we can slip them in our bags and crack them open as we wait for the bus or read quietly while enjoying the last glass of attaya. Books connect us to the diversity in the world around us, exposing us to new ideas and experiences. Compared to the cost of a college course, one book is relatively inexpensive and our library loan program allows books to circulate
throughout the community.
Originally established solely as a new bookstore the lending library was organized later to provide the community much needed access to a wide range of books in English. Consisting of almost 2000 fiction and non-fiction books for readers of all ages, the lending library members include individual students, families and Chez Alpha also works collaboratively with various educational institutions providing them access to English books. Students utilize the library in order to complete required assignments while other readers drop by for a quick visit, become hooked and continue to stop by for a monthly supply of good reading materials. Some library members travel great distances for the pleasure of borrowing books. Other visitors are merely in Dakar for a two week vacation and having heard about Chez Alpha feel the need to come and read just for the afternoon. Whatever your reason for visiting the library, we share your addiction to books and welcome passionate readers from around the world!
