The Mammoth Book Sort!!

Yes we have finally done it. After managing to enlist some help, albeit a minimal contribution, from some library minded people we have managed to finish sorting over 200 boxes of books. Found some great stuff like fairly recent editions of World Book Encyclopedia and also some interesting stuff like old annuals and books I remember reading as a kid. We even received 3 pairs of shoes! These will not go to waste. There are always people trying to play netball in jandals round here! With some help from the Ministry of Education van we did some delivering last week and now just have a trip to Savaii and a couple more deliveries round Upolu to complete the project. Again the schools have been very grateful to receive these donations but boy has it been a big job on the sorting front this time round! Think as this project seems to be growing each year I now need to get the Library Association of Samoa completely on board with raising the funds to cover the project and with full on help with sorting once the books get here. It's become too large for just Adam and I! More updates once the deliveries are complete and an article is written for the paper.
