摘要

While budget trimming and economic unrest may be causing a collective angst for many industrywide, Jane Kinney Meyers is keeping a spirit of giving alive this season. In fact, her "season" lasts year-round for Africa's street kids, many of them orphaned in the HIV/AIDS crisis. If her name sounds familiar, here's why: Meyers received a standing ovation at the 2007 SLA conference in Denver when she won the 2007 Dow Jones Leadership Award for her work as president of the Lubuto Library Project. Since then, the first Lubuto library was officially opened on Sept. 21, 2007, in Lusaka, Zambia, bringing a bit of cultural heritage back into the countryside and books to the hands of the country's most vulnerable children. The library is actually a series of three thatched-roof buildings that reflect the traditional African architecture. The library consists of a small foyer-type building, along with a 4,000-book library/reading room and an arts/crafts room. Meyers calls it a "full-service" facility, providing education and information, along with a safe, community space where kids can socialize.
