We’re hiring: Work at the Bunk

The Book Bunk

We build libraries.

This Saturday, November 26th we’ll be hosting the final edition of the Mengi Mengi Film Club. This edition’s theme is “Mafunzo ya dunia” and is an all-Kenyan affair! We follow the troubling encounters of Mama Margaret Kamango and her beloved grandson Karisa in The Letter (2019) by Maia Lekow & Christopher King. The documentary explores fear, greed and the dangerous clash between Christian evangelism and superstitious beliefs. Hope springs eternal in Wanuri Kahiu PUMZI (2009). It is a necessary tale in this era of climate change.

Free entry. Limited seating. Screening starts promptly at 1PM.

Greetings from Green Bunk!

We recently held a garbage clean up exercise at Kaloleni Library and Kaloleni neighbourhood. We had over 150 volunteers and 10 garbage collectors from the neighbourhood join us for this exercise. We are one step close to building safe, clean and sustainable green libraries. Stay tuned for our next clean up exercise. If you’d like to partner with us on this, please reach out to us at hello@bookbunk.org.
