After the book donation celebration, Ellen and Terri started the week-long assignment of sorting, cataloguing, labeling, and shelving nearly one thousand books. Although seemingly very tedious to the rest of us, if you ask them, they thoroughly enjoyed every moment of it!
A select group of Kilimani 7th and 8th grade students serve as the school's librarians and they were truly Ellen and Terri’s right-hand boys and girls. Ellen and Terri worked hard with these students to set in place a system for locating, borrowing, and returning the books. By the end of the week, we were thrilled to see formerly-empty shelves filled with new books and students of all ages and levels accessing them!
