Anyone who attended the Hop Skip and Jump book launch at the Alliance Francaise, last Saturday, will attest to the fact that the Nairobi literary scene is alive and well. The event also showed that social media is a powerful mobilisation and marketing tool.
The book is written by Scholar V. Akinyi. The library has a sitting capacity of 145 people, but the number that showed up was 200; meaning that there were very many people that remained standing throughout the event.
