library visit

 there is an opportunity to obtain used books in Canada for a library here so I visited the government libraries yesterday  omg  the big library has only one building finished, sparsely supplied with books,  a reading & reference section,  sparse is the operative word, 
then
we went to see the children's library in a different location omg x2 they have not had electricity for one year as the government will not pay the bill, the building itself is falling apart and there are few books on the shelves,
so
the fact that there will be a library on the cathedral grounds will be a big bonus for the four Anglican schools near by.
To live in a place like Canada distorts knowing the 'every day' reality in a developing country. 
the worse that Canada has, 
is probably 100x better that what is common place in many places in the world
CHILDREN'S LIBRARY

  1. well, I have a source for books so what do you would want to do
    ? books, money, ???etc
    The library plans are to be a metal container (like a garden shed), there will be a concrete pad outside with a tin roof with tables and chairs providing a place for children to read.
    so I ask..what is your pleasure?

  2. And now we are building libraries with no books just computer terminals. It is certainly mind boggling.
