Gertrude Kayaga Mulindwa height - How tall is Gertrude Kayaga Mulindwa?

Mulindwa attended Makerere University in Uganda and the University of Wales. In 2019, she was part of the Public Library Association Leadership Academy's first African graduating class.

Mulindwa returned to Uganda in 2000, where she worked as head librarian for Uganda Martyrs University, Nkozi, for three years. She then became director of the National Library of Uganda (NLU).

Mulindwa worked as Director of the Botswana National Library Service in Gaborone and helped develop the national bibliography, called The Botswana Collection, starting in the early 1980s, when the nation was far behind others in resources and technology. In the 1990s, the bibliography grew, not just because of a growing number of publications in Botswana, but because of the implementation of new resources and technology such as computerized systems used with the implementation of ISBN for cataloging. Different media, such as video, were now included in the collection, along with publications in different languages; not just everything published, but everything filmed in Botswana, and all reports of all research done in Botswana were added to the Botswana Collection. Mulindwa has argued that the preservation of resources through bibliography is not just for historical posterity, but to spread knowledge of what is available for public use in a nation with little reading material.

In addition to the efforts of literacy programs, Mulindwa and others advocated the need for post-literacy programs to help build and maintain literacy skills and reading culture in Botswana. Village Reading Rooms were created in the 1980s and 1990s to help foster a reading-friendly culture, taking the concept of the public library out into remote villages to make reading material available to all. In 2000, Mulindwa analyzed the efforts of the Village Reading Rooms and presented findings at the IFLA conference in Israel.
