Our Story

The Pages of Hope Library was established through the visionary efforts of the Dr. LEE Educational Foundation (DLEF). Inspired by a deep commitment to literacy, education, and community transformation, the Foundation launched the library as a beacon of hope for students and lifelong learners across Numan Local Government Area, Adamawa State, Nigeria. Now fully established on its permanent site in Bare' Village, the Pages of Hope Library serves as a vital educational hub, offering access to books, learning spaces, and digital knowledge tools to empower rural and underserved communities.

In continuation of its mission to bridge the information gap, the library is expanding its reach through the development of an E-Library System, allowing students, teachers, and the public to access a growing collection of electronic books and resources from anywhere. Through ongoing support from the Dr. LEE Foundation, local volunteers, and global partners, the Pages of Hope Library continues to promote a culture of reading, critical thinking, and academic excellence one page at a time.
