Our Story
a passion for books
At Afrireads, we believe that every book holds the power to transform lives, inspire minds, and connect people. What began as a humble vision to make quality books accessible has grown into a beloved destination for readers across Kenya and beyond.
Beyond the Books
We’re more than a bookstore—we’re a hub for connection and learning. Through events like book signings, reading circles, and literary workshops, we bring readers and authors together to celebrate the written word.
WHAT WE STAND FOR
Books are more than just pages—they’re bridges to knowledge, creativity, and self-discovery. That’s why we pride ourselves on offering a diverse selection for all ages and interests. Whether it’s a gripping novel, an educational textbook, or a motivational read, every book at Afrireads is handpicked to inspire and empower.
As we grow, so does our commitment to enriching lives through books. At Afrireads, our vision is to inspire a lifelong love of reading while fostering a sense of community around it. We’re dedicated to staying innovative, from offering seamless online shopping to introducing new ways for readers to engage with stories.
“Books are such joy ... to be cherished, handled with pleasure, read and reread and handed down to the next generation”
Lily Nyariki / founder & ceo
At Afrireads, our mission is simple yet profound: to empower people with knowledge and information through books and reading. We strive to be more than just a bookstore—to be a place where stories come alive, knowledge is shared, and every visitor leaves with something meaningful, whether it’s a book, a conversation, or a moment of inspiration.
We are dedicated to providing an unparalleled experience for our customers. Our value proposition lies in our commitment to quality, community, and connection—delivering more than books, but a space where readers feel valued, supported, and inspired.
