One Library at a time

What is one library at a time?

• We collaborate with the teachers and community leaders to determine which books the children need most. We then purchase those books (locally if possible) and begin to turn books and shelves into a library.

• We work with other non-profits to identify locations for libraries. Then the real work begins.

• We label and catalog all of the books using the Dewey Decimal System. We then train a local resident or a teacher, and sometimes even older children, to be librarians and continue the work of labeling, cataloging and checking the books out to the children.

• One of the important things we strive to do is to get the local community and other non-profits involved to continue to “feed” the library with books after we are gone.
