COMMUNITY LIBRARY

Increasing literacy and technology for the community

Haiti Projects Community Library boasts a computer lab, a multipurpose room for events, a library space, a cyber cafe, and a maker space.

The Haiti Projects Community Library is the only public lending library with Internet access in an area of over 100,000 people.

The Community Library offers over 3,000 books in Haitian Creole, French, and English for students and the community to borrow as needed. Our computer lab allows the community to connect to the world beyond Haiti and participate in the global community. 

We currently offer a variety of classes for children and adults, including computer skills, adult literacy, French and English language, mommy and me, dance, theater, drumming, yoga, sewing, knitting, and embroidery. We also have various clubs, such as English and French Literature and kids' clubs. 

Haiti Projects' provides a space for students to study and learn together and a gathering place for cultural understanding and discussion. With monthly cultural activities that highlight important topics, such as agriculture and environmental health to celebrations for Haitian Flag Day and Carnaval, the Haiti Projects' Community Library is an integral hub for education, community engagement, and celebration, fostering a vibrant and interconnected society that values both tradition and progress.
