Title: Reading literacy practices among retirees in Kenya: why and how public libraries matter to them Authors: Mose, Peter N.; Mose, Everlyn Abstract: Purpose – The purpose of this study was to establish reading practices among retirees and to what extent public libraries in Kenya are a source of information and knowledge to them. Design/methodology/approach – This was a qualitative study whose research questions were; what are retirees’ reading practices? why do retirees engage in the reading practices they engage in? and to what extent do retirees use the public library for their reading practices? Purposive and snowballing were used as sampling techniques and interview was used for data collection. Data were analysed thematically. Findings – The findings were that retirees’ reading practices are fragmentary and erratic; retirees mainly engage in reading practices for spiritual reasons and for access of current information; and that retirees do not use the services of the public library for their reading activities. Research limitations/implications – The research sample is 16 subjects who might not represent features of the whole population. The findings are, however, an index to what the situation might be. Originality/value – The findings are the result of actual qualitative research. Description: DOI 10.1108/LM-08-2020-0117

Title: Challenges of school re-entry among teenage mothers in primary schools in Muhoroni District, Western Kenya Authors: Onyango, George O.; Kioli, Felix N.; Nyambedha, Erick O. Abstract: Although much has been done towards attainment of gender equity in education as envisaged in the MDGs, gender disparities persist in many parts of the country. Studies indicate that most of girls who drop out of school due to pregnancies do not return to class after childbirth despite provisions for it. The purpose of this study was to examine factors that influence re-entry of schoolgirl mothers in primary schools in Muhoroni District, Kisumu County in western Kenya. Cross-sectional descriptive research design combining both qualitative and quantitative approaches was used in this study. The data was collected from schools, teachers, pupils, parents/guardians and teenage mothers using questionnaires, structured interviews and Focus Group Discussions. It emerged that a range of socio-cultural factors constrained school re-entry of teenage mothers. The study recommended policy review to comprehensively address the exclusion of these mothers from school in order to enhance gender equity in education.
