Who we are

The Story of
Book a Book.

Book a Book is a reading association based in Yaoundé. Since our official registration in 2024, we work every day to bring back the love of reading to Cameroonian youth and offer a leading cultural space.

Our Origin

The project was born from a simple observation in Yaoundé: the lack of nearby reading facilities for children. In response, a passionate team decided to act by opening a first pilot cultural hub in the heart of Biyem-Assi.
