Our Community Library

"I have always imagined that ‘Paradise’ will be a kind of a Library." ~ Jorge Luis Borges

Archangel Academy Community Library is an open platform that aims to inspire children and adults in our community to read, discover and learn. We aim to provide children and adults access to educational and inspirational materials in both digital and physical formats. We shall create programs that foster literacy, creativity, and innovation.

 “I have always had an imaginary library in mind since the establishment of Archangel Academy, but have been lacking financial means to realize this dream. Now several years ago down the road, we just completed construction of the library room, thanks to friends and colleagues who believed and supported this idea to come to fruition.” ~ Gaspard Nzayisenga, Founder

 As we look forward to acquiring the much-needed books and other materials for our students, we are confident that our school library program shall play a crucial role in preparing students for advanced grades but most importantly informed living in the 21st century. We want to inspire the young generation to develop the ability to think clearly, critically, and creatively about their choices, rather than allowing others to do this for them in the pursuit of information. 

 Sidney Sheldon perfectly describes: “Libraries store the energy that fuels the imagination. They open up windows to the world and inspire us to explore and achieve, and contribute to improving our quality of life.”

Please Support Phase 1 of the Library Interior

Status of library interior as of March 2023

As we complete construction of the building we shift our focus to the interior of the library. We are looking to raise a total of $2,500USD for Phase 1 which includes interior construction, shelves, desks, chairs, and stocking the shelves with books and games.

UPDATE MAY 2023 - We still need to fund Phase 1 for the interior of the library but we are happy to share this photo of children enjoying the space and reading books donated by a retired school teacher in the US.

Community Library in Process - Exterior Construction Fully Funded!
