I am going to begin this post trying to clarify a few things. I am working with two host agencies, an elementary school, and Pohnpei Public Library. At my elementary school I have been working to renovate and refurbish the library. It has been quite the undertaking, and unfortunately is no where near finished. However, as of January 6, 2012 we are now open for lending. Students have to bring back a parent permission slip acknowledging their understanding of the lending libraries rules, and consequences (pesky fines). Students must also have a Ziplock or plastic bag to put their book in to insure some sort of protection in their backpack and from the elements.
So far about 60 students have turned in their forms and about 20 have checked out books. It has been great to see the library actually being used, it makes me feel like I have accomplished something.
Here are a few pictures of the library's transformation. In the process, I got really dirty, bled a little and had to deal with all sorts of disgusting little creatures who called the library home.
