Jungle Books Library – Calais

Jungle Books Library was started by Mary Jones in collaboration with camp residents. It included a library, a classroom, a women’s and children’s centre, and a radio station, Radio Jungala (Radio Jungle-No!): https://www.facebook.com/Jungle-Radio-Calais-710414905761875/?fref=ts

The Guardian chronicled the beginnings of this project: http://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2015/sep/07/calais-refugee-library-flooded-with-thousands-of-books

Jungle Books was run by and for camp residents. It also welcomed volunteers who could help, teach, and contribute in other ways.
