Reflective Post #4 - Global Library Initiatives - Aftermath of Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation’s Global Library Initiative
Blog Post 4 - Global Library Initiatives - Aftermath of Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation’s Global Library Initiative After listening to the lectures and reading the materials for this unit on Global Library Initiatives and learning about the benefits they are doing to populations on a global scale, I was intrigued to read about the work being done by the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation on a global scale. Their work caught my attention because Bill and Melinda Gates are a local name and foundation that I have come across and dealt with a few times during my time living in Seattle and attending the University of Washington for my undergraduate degree. After reading that their work was wrapped up in 2018, I took the opportunity to do some research to learn about the aftermath of their initiative. I wanted to see who they left behind locally to continue their work and how they would encourage work to continue once they were finished. Deborah Jacobs, the director of the Bill &am
