The Beginning​

The Nile Book Awards were started in 2009 by Clare Kybird from the Khartoum International Community School and  Cathy Kreutter of the International School of Uganda.  For a number of years it was just these 2 schools participating.  In 2015, Jeanette Brooker, from the Khartoum International Community School, invited schools who had the Nile rivers running through them to participate.  
In 2019, the elementary librarians at the AISA
conference in Addis Ababa decided to open 
the Nile Book Awards to all International 
Schools on the continent of Africa.  If you are
