From this platform:
"As schools, libraries and different workplaces shut down all over Africa and in other climes due to the COVID-19 pandemic, AfLIA is supporting librarians with information about platforms that can aid the provision of online services. Librarians can also direct their user communities to these sites for reading purposes, distant learning and online interactions including meetings. The list is not exhaustive but it’s a good starting point."
