Story labs
Recurring workshops where young patrons co-write a book during a single library visit.
For Libraries
From readers to published authors.
Kalima Create equips libraries to host community-publishing programmes that capture local stories, languages and memories. Children leave as published authors; the library leaves with a growing local collection no one else can match.
What you get
- White-label publishing portal under your library's brand
- Holiday and after-school story labs with structured curricula
- Local memory collection drives that capture community history
- Multilingual support — Arabic, English and 12+ more languages
- Printable and shelvable books to display alongside your collection
- Membership and engagement metrics for boards and funders
Programmes we run
Local memory drives
Capture community elders' stories, retold by children, indexed under your library's catalogue.
Schools partnerships
Visiting class programmes that connect curriculum literacy outcomes with your library brand.
Why it works
A library that publishes its readers builds a collection no algorithm can replicate. It also gives families a reason to come back, and gives funders a measurable engagement story.
