Macmillan Memorial Library in Nairobi in danger due to poor management by city council of Nairobi
Macmillan memorial Library one of the oldest in East Africa is in danger duee to poor management by the city council of Nairobi.
Established througjh cap 217 of 1931 and the city council took over in 1962 and the name changed to city council Library service
Macmillan Library is poorly managed by the broke city council of Nairobi unable to provide it with modern facilities including online
The Library was closed in June last year for renovation and there is no communication from city hall when it will open, the front gate had been turned into parking by city hall car attendance who pocket the fee.
Macmillan being the biggest in Sub Sahara and the second largest in Africa to Alexandria in Egypt is at risk because city hall in no loner buying new books and modern facilities including photo coping machine not only that the Library is not online.
Source told media that city hall had not provided money for renovation and the council is loosing millions of shilling because researchers and students no longer use it and the day when it will open is unknown
