Cataloging
Jocelyn, a church mate, helped me with cataloging in August. Almost 50% of the books are now classified and catalogued. I hope to complete the job within the year.
Shelves!
I am happy to present the first cabinet shelves of the library.
Cabinet Jireh. I gave it that name as I am affirmed that God provides.

My teenage cousins Bibi and Joy were the very first to borrow books officially from the library in March. Bibi is interested in English books sent over by Jean Wilson, a British book donor living in Japan, whereas Joy has been reading the 'The Twits' series which came in the package from Tokyo Union Church.
My parents' living room temporarily serves as the library area.
I thank Jean Wilson for sending three boxes of English language books to the library. The books give an added dimension to the library and will be a great blessing to the numerous people who are keen to improve their comprehension of the language and to enhance their written and oral English.
