This library thing could be very, very interesting.
There was a guest lecturer in my class last night who’s in the publishing industry and who started a library in Tanzania with his wife while they were there with Habitat for Humanity. They need volunteers who can help with the library stuff, since a) they’re not librarians themselves; and b) Tanzania doesn’t really have a library culture. In particular, they need someone who can talk to the women of the village about health issues, and maybe collect some women’s health materials in Swahili.
I’m seriously considering going for a week or so when they go in August. I won’t have classes at that point, and I shouldn’t have a problem getting time off work. And I can spend a few days in Europe on the way back as well.
