In this episode host Joy Owango speaks with Maha Abbas, Head of Biblioteca Alexandrina Information for Africa (BAIFA) at Bibliotheca Alexandrina in Egypt, and North African representative at the African Library and Information Associations and Institutions (AfLIA). They explore how libraries in Africa, especially in North Africa, are evolving from historical centers of knowledge into dynamic, digitally empowered institutions driving research visibility, open science, and continental collaboration. The conversation journeys through Africa’s library heritage, the integration of technology like AI, and the human-centered vision that sustains the profession.
