Editor's Notes
- Upsides- quality over quantity Because intensive, respond to needs villages and readers… e.g. what kinds of books? At first shipped books from U.S. but villagers want African novels not Jane Austen Very few books in local languages Brought us to partner with Kathy Knowles of Osu Children’s Library fund to make available low cost books for children in local languages Micro publishing Because intensive, we do outreach- where parents don’t know how to read or have a library culture, very important Also do training and capacity building- keeping accounts, budgets reports
