Pocket Libraries

A tiny library with BIG ideas in Nairobi! Find us at Jaffery Sports Club and Provision’s Kenya. Open 7 days a week

Membership at Pocket Libraries is now free for people over 65!

ID and a small refundable deposit will be required but we’re excited about this Classics membership and don’t know why it took us this long to be honest

It’s too cold in Nairobi for this work thing - What we all need is a library book and a cup of tea

Some not so fun news, we’re closed this Sunday. We know, it sucks. We’d love to open, but Jafferys are closed, so we’re locked out too. No secret librarian tunnels (yet).

It’s out of our hands, but we’ll be back on Monday, ready to help you find your next read.

Thanks!

[Pocket Libraries @PocketLibraryke]

Hey Pocket Crew!

A quick update: We believe in the right to protest, and in solidarity with our fellow Kenyans, we’ll be closed. Thanks for your understanding, and please stay safe. ❤️

Last shout for our Tots Music event happening tomorrow!

Happy holidays, wonderful people!

Bad news: we close on the 18th 😕

Good news: we're open every day until then, 10am to 5pm. That’s plenty of time to pick up your holiday reads!

We reopen on the 6th of January. Until then, happy holidays 😄
