Local organization works to help build first library in Liberia WHIO Staff
A Miami Valley organization is working to build the first and one of its kind library in Liberia, Africa.
Children of Liberia, who don’t have access to a public library, now get the chance to enjoy books that have been sent to them by Dayton’s Darius Ricks, who is a native of Liberia.
“The way they receive the book, the way they were excited. That alone, it breaks me down because it’s just a book, but it means so much to them,” Ricks said.
The idea for “Library for Africa” started in 2018 when Rick’s saw his former Dayton Job Corps Center teacher, Veleta Jenkins, getting rid of old books and asked if he could mail them home instead.
