Book Bunk

Book Bunk was founded in October 2017 by publisher, Angela Wachuka and author, Wanjiru Koinange. Rooted in a love for literature and storytelling, Book Bunk imagines that public libraries can be steered to become more than just repositories, acting as spaces of knowledge production, shared experiences, cultural leadership and information exchange. We see them as sites of heritage, public art and memory. Our formation as an entity is inspired by the core belief that our shared public spaces are more essential than ever to our collective Kenyan imagination. Book Bunk is transforming Nairobi by restoring some of the city's most iconic public libraries.
