Train qualified staff (librarians, cultural mediators, managers). 6. Develop varied cultural programming (public reading, workshops, events). 7. Establish lasting partnerships with universities, NGOs, and international donors. 8. Digitize cultural content to broaden access to knowledge. 9. Integrate these projects into an overall strategy of cultural tourism and appeal for Maroua.
