NEVER MISS AN EVENT!

Our operating hours have temporarily changed due to covid 19

Our doors are closed, but our hearts are still open, anticipating the day we can all enjoy the Sankofa Space again! Until then, let's meet online* to read, think, talk about books and movies, and be healthier and even greater than we were before this pandemic started.
