Library Insanity

On Tuesdays and Fridays we have an English Library that Connie has been working on for years which has over 2000 English books that have been brought or sent from the U.S.! -- The goal is 10,000 so if you want to send books let me know --

Today was one of my days to run the library and Connie also had a speech contest across the hall that I was keeping time for the students as they prepared for their impromptu portion. They had 20 minutes to prepare for a 3 minute speech. That's pretty amazing to be able to do in a foreign language.



I was trying to keep things under control in the library with some new students helping out at the same time. It was one of the busiest days because there is a week break for a "national day" holiday and students want to have books to read over the break. It was quite a juggling act for a solid hour and a half until things slowed down in the library. Everything went pretty smoothly after the students running the desk got a hang of the process.
