Some of the gems that dislodge themselves from the stacks of the library are worthy of sharing. For example, this totally relevant Interior Design guide from the 1960s and the 1980s Black Remix of Julia Roberts...
But seriously, the library could use some help. Some of you lovely people in my life have asked what you can do to support my time in South Africa. Unlike in Namibia, we have greater access to school supplies and textbooks and honestly, we could use some new relevant and teen friendly books.
We recently received a great donation from a local rotary club, but books on the American Civil War and Ipad user manuals only excite kids so much. There are ways to send materials through a US. Diplomatic Pouch, or perhaps it might be cheaper on shipping to send one giant package and split the cost.
I have one learner in particular who I turned on to Harry Potter and now he's ravenous for the rest of the series. He keeps asking me questions about the larger story line and I tell him he hasn't earned the answers yet (because he needs to read it like the rest of us suckers!). But, without the rest of the series available in the library I feel quite hypocritical.
