Librairie Bon Pasteur Togo

The Bon Pasteur Library of Lomé is a work of the Archdiocese of Lomé

The Bon Pasteur de Lomé Library is a work of the Archdiocese of Lomé. Founded in 1906 by German priests, its purpose was to supply Catholic mission schools with textbooks and school supplies.

On August 18, 1962, the small store was established: LIBRAIRIE CATHOLIC. In 1964, thanks to a gift from Cardinal Doëpfner, consecrator of His Excellency Monsignor. Dosseh-Anyron, a second bookstore was opened on Rue du Commerce. In the same year, the Catholic Library became LIBRAIRIE BON PASTEUR in recognition of Cardinal Doëpfner, whose home parish is named after “Bon Pasteur”.

Later, in 1975, Librairie Bon Pasteur became a limited liability company – SARL- and since 2018 SARL U.

In 2001, to meet customer needs, after the exhibition and sale at the Togo 2000 fair, a 3rd point of sale was opened in Hédzranawoé in front of the market. All this to be closer to customers, as the population is gradually moving away from the city center towards the outskirts.

In November 2009, at the inauguration of the Catholic University UCAO-UUT, the bookstore was expanded with a 4th point of sale in Sanguéra to allow students to have the books they need on site. But the results did not meet our expectations and so, in August 2011, the bookstore was elevated to the level of Adidogomé not far from the military camp, next to the Moov Ganesha Fortune Adidogomé and not far from the parish of Marie Mère du Rédempteur.
