As you know, one of my goals here is to create a small library at the school. I’ve never seen a library in Haiti, so this will be something new for the children. We plan to teach the children how to treat books and how a library works since this is a completely new concept. To give the older children some responsibility, we’ve decided that the 6th graders will be in charge of the library.
We went on a 2-hour errand yesterday to buy supplies for the library (glue and envelopes to glue inside the books and index cards to write the book name and child’s name who borrows it). We ordered a wooden bookshelf to hold the books. Someone is making it by hand and it should be ready tomorrow.
Here are some pictures of me and the family working together to prepare books. There was no electricity at the time so we were using the oil lamps.
