Libraries are institutions whose mission is to both conserve and disseminate information for the purposes of education, culture, and amusement. This paper analyzes the history, politics, culture, economy, and state of education in Cabo Verde, emphasizing the unique situation of libraries and Library and Information Science (LIS) on the islands. Notwithstanding their global mobility, serving the diaspora and the islands implies retaining trained LIS professionals, sustaining digital library platforms and websites, and building collections. In the spirit of comparative librarianship, this paper proposes ways in which Cabo Verde can create a new âmissionâ for libraries which best serves its people, honors its culture, and helps the nation to flourish in the information age.
