The life of a librarian in Kenya has some surprises.  A brilliant idea of Fred's is to keep used glasses and then the students can look for ones that will help them read the computer screens, read closer, or see the board.  They get to keep them and certainly are a hit.  Being an optician is quite an interesting added librarian's service.



Here is our new computer library wall being varnished.  A librarian also finds many uses for old newspapers such as protecting the floor or washing the windows with them.



A personal joy was to share our duplicate magazines with all of the students.  We have 72 students here these past 3 weeks.  I asked the student representatives for each class to come and each got 3 magazines for each member of his/her class to take home to enjoy and practice reading English even more.  These two ladies are 2 of my work study students who have really been a big help and learned well.



These are my 2 mend/bind students who are learning book repair so the tasks continue to happen after I leave.  Our librarian will know too, of course, but both of these men have 2 more years to extend the life of the books at FTC and then help train someone else!  Joshua is standing and Simon is seated. They were learning about tipping in pages and errata pages today.
