The book sponsorship programme for our church library started off great today. Almost all but 2 sheets were filled, and over RM 700 was collected! (Tho' about half the amount was given by the Chairman of the Board). I'm glad it is working well. My thinking was that people are generous and would like to give - you just have to give them the chance.

By the end of the month hopefully it will all be filled.

Things are moving with the library, mainly due to the dedication of 2 aunties and also my dad is keen to keep things going. We have not yet got everything organized, but there have been recommendations from the pulpit, borrowing by the adults and kids. I am going to get an accession book this week and start accessioning new books and also have to finalize a user-friendly classification scheme. The ladies' fellowship (newly being revived) is supposed to help with book-wrapping (in plastic to protect the books) in two weeks time.

Now that I am not working Saturdays anymore, I can go to church on Saturday evenings and work in the library during youth meetings (when the premises will be open). Must remember about the bulletin board, too - want to get one for the library, and have people post recommendations and stuff.
