[Pal-dc] IGF Dynamic Coalition for Public Access in Libraries

[Baudouin Schombe]

Hello Monika,

Congratulations on this initiative for libraries. I initiated a strategy to
approach e-bookstore, also making use of the music library and video library
. This approach has been thought following observation of behaviors of
readers in our country (DRC).

Very few of the Congolese read. Congolese society reconciles oral tradition
and digital technology. Given this cultural reality, we had to find an
appropriate medium.

This is why I am very interested in the experiences of each other. Therefore,
I agree to participate in this dynamic in Baku.

Baudouin
