Sannad-guuradii 1aad ee ILAYS

Maanta oo ah Maalinta Caalamiga ah ee Akhris-qoraalka, waxaan u dabaaldegaynaa sannad-guuradii koowaad ee ILAYS Library Initiative.

Hal sano gudaheed, ILAYS waxay ka shaqaysay horumarinta maktabadaha, dhiirrigelinta akhriska, iyo fududaynta helitaanka aqoonta, iyadoo dhistay iskaashi iyo fursado waxbarasho.

Sanadka labaad waxaan sii xoojinaynaa:
📖 ILAYS Learning
🎓 ILAYS Coaching
💡 ILAYS Webinars

Mahad weyn dhammaan shuraakada, mutadawiciinta, taageerayaasha iyo bulshada qaybta ka noqday safarkan.

Hambalyo ILAYS! Hal sano ayaa naga dambaysa, safar ka weynna waa ina horyaallaa!

Maanta waxaan u dabaaldegeynaa International Women's Day.

ILAYS Library Initiative waxay ku faraxsan tahay inay leedahay haween firfircoon oo door muhiim ah ka qaata horumarinta aqoonta iyo dhaqanka akhriska.

Waxaan si gaar ah u bogaadineynaa dadaalka iyo ka qayb qaadashada Hawa Dhool Abdullahi, Kalsoon Karbuuno, iyo Aisha Hussein, kuwaas oo ka mid ah xubnaha haweenka ee si joogto ah u taageera himilada ILAYS.

Maanta waa maalin ay bahda waxbarshada Soomaaliyeed u tahay Ilays iyo Iftiin!

Ilays Library Initiative (ILAYS) waxay si rasmi ah ugu biirtay Forum for Open Research in MENA (Middle East and North Africa) — shabakad goboleed (regional network) oo hormuud u ah Open Science iyo Open Research.

Ku biiristaan waxay xoojinaysaa dadaalkeenna ku aaddan:

• Sinnaanta helitaanka aqoonta (Knowledge Equity)
• Dhismaha nidaamka aqoonta (Knowledge Ecosystem) ee furan, loo wada siman yahay
• Kor u qaadista Open Access (Helitaan Furan) ee cilmi-baarista
• Xoojinta iskaashiga maktabadaha iyo jaamacadaha heer gobol iyo caalami

Waxaan aaminsanahay in maktabaduhu yihiin xarunta horumarinta bulshada iyo kobcinta cilmi-baarista. Iskaashigan cusub wuxuu noo oggolaanayaa inaan codka maktabadaha Soomaaliyeed ku biirino doodaha goboleed iyo kuwa caalamiga ah ee ku saabsan mustaqbalka aqoonta.

Safarku wuu socdaa — aqoontu waa furaha horumarka.

📚Goodbye 2025. Welcome 2026.

2025 was a year of reflection, learning, and rebuilding for ILAYS Library Initiative.
Behind the scenes, we strengthened our vision, reconnected with schools and librarians, and prepared practical models to support libraries and reading culture.

✨In 2026, we move into action:

School library pilot programs

Reading and literacy initiatives

Librarian support and capacity building

Stronger partnerships and better documentation

Our belief remains simple:

Every Somali learner deserves access to a library and the freedom to read.

Thank you to everyone who supported us quietly and publicly.
Let’s build libraries. Let’s build readers. Let’s build the future.

Sharing a small but meaningful moment for ILAYS Library Initiative. Our work is starting to be recognized internationally, which motivates us to continue building inclusive access to knowledge for Somali communities. More to come, insha’Allah 🙏❤️

Aasaasaha ahna Guddoomiyaha Ilays Library Initiative Usaad Abdirahim Ifiye ayaa maanta waxaa u soo geba-gaboobay maalinka sedaxaad ee shirweeynaha wadamada Carabta ee loogaga hadlo arimaha Maktabadaha iyo Macluumaadka(Library and Information) ee IFLA 2025.

Shirweynahan oo ahaa kii 36aad laguna qabtay Magaalada Doha ee waddankan Qatar 🇶🇦 ayaa waxaa kasoo qaybgalay wafuud kala duwan oo badankood ka kala yimid wadamada Carabta oo ay Soomaaliya kujirto. Waxaa markii ugu horeeysay shirkan Soomaali ahaan kasoo qaybgalay ilaa 5 qofood oo ka kala yimid meela kala duwan. Waana ifafaalo wanaagsan oo muujinaya in markaan Soomaalidu daneeyneeyso arimaha Maktabadaha.

Guddoomiyaha ayaa la kulmay inta shirka uu socday rag iyo dumar Carab, Afrikaan iyo wadamo kaleba , dadkaas oo isugu jira kuwa ay is yaqaaneen iyo kuwa sedaxda maalin un is barteen. Waxaynu u badnaaayeen diktooro iyo barafasooro ku ah cilimiga Maktabadaha iyo Macluumaadka.

Waxaan rajaynaynaa aqoontaas iyo fikradahaas uu halkaas kasoo helay inuu uga faa’iideeyo dalkeena Soomaaliyeed isagoo u maraya hay’adda Ilays oo aan rajeeynayno in mustaqbalka dhow wax badan ka badali doonno heerka maanta uu joogo aqriskeena iyo qoraalkeenaba.

Mahadsanidiin!
