Books and more books



Adrian and Sue celebrated their 20th wedding anniversary by spending the month helping out in Burkina and joined us at IMS. Adrian helped us doing inputting while we recatalogued the library as well as giving a conference on Science and Biblical Faith, and Josiane our secretary (in pink) and I (in green and orange) added his job to ours to finish once he'd gone. I was prepping the books and giving more precise references, Josiane put on labels, reshelved and repaired.

Susan taught English, translated an article for us, and joined the library lot for a few mornings. Their girls helped out with camps, kids clubs and oddjobs for SIM administration.

Water started dripping in from a leaky roof on the bookcase on the far right while we were working so it was moved (not fixed!). We only have about one more shelf to do and we'll be finished this job until more books are purchased. We'll need to add another bookcase then.

Once we're finished IMS students will have the ability for the first time to look up books using author, title, keyword or reference on our local network or consult a printed list.
