The people of Kenya now have access to Britannica Library, Encyclopedia Britannica’s flagship online knowledge collection, through the good offices of the Kenya National Library Service (KNLS).

Under an agreement between Britannica and KNLS, the country’s 46 regional libraries, as well as the national library itself, now host the Britannica Library platform, making it available to all library users. Readers can use the collection in the library or access it remotely. 

Britannica Library is a dynamic, continuously updated and expanded, rigorously fact-checked information source for students, teachers and lifelong learners. Whether one needs historical context on the latest world crisis, an engaging biography of someone in the news, or they just want to test their knowledge of world capitals, it is the ideal place to do it.

“Every year, Britannica’s worldwide team of editors and contributors write, illustrate, expand, update, adapt and revise tens of thousands of articles,” said Matthew Ward, EMEA director for Britannica. “They bring unmatched intellectual rigor to every story, graphic, video, or quiz we publish, because, in an ever-changing world, having up-to-date, trustworthy information isn’t just our job, it’s our mission.”

Britannica has an established record of serving KNLS, which it aims to develop further. Recently, the company donated copies of its one-volume children’s encyclopedia to the national library.

“As Kenya and other national libraries make the transition from mostly printed sources to a broader, mixed portfolio of print and digital, Britannica will be there to help them help their patrons,” said Ward.
