Blog From the Field

Meheba Friendly Libraries - March 2010

Summary of project status and achievements:

In April, Block D Library welcomed Ghislain-Kongolo to replace Paul who departed after the riots. Attendance was high at all four locations as students clamored to study for their end of the term exams.

As reported last month, sign in sheets were distributed to quantify the attendance of the coordinator at all four library locations. His attendance, especially in ‘F’ and ‘G’ has been poor to say the least. On 13 April, Jeremy, acting as Site Manager in Jess’ absence issued Robert a written warning.

Progress towards Coordinator’s goals/Trends from indicators:

Future activities and goals:

With low attendance expected until schools open again in May, the librarians and Site Manager hope to work together to devise programming that will attract students.

In April, Jean Claude is scheduled to depart for Australia. Advertisements will be posted around ‘G’ as the search for his replacement begins.

Wishes or requests:

None.

Substantial problems or issues:

None.

However, being the largest library in the settlement, this month we had a lot of clients of which their cry is about the books on management as well as other fields including secondary level. Therefore, we are here by appealing to the donors to donate books on the requested fields.

Finally, your quick response to the request will be highly appreciated.

2010 is a year that brought academic victory. This indicates that education is the only key to success in life, hence Meheba Friendly Library is one of the educational keys in Africa (Zambia) which has produced many people to acquire knowledge that they deserve.

However, this new year means everything has to be new and academic materials also need to be new. Therefore, the library is hereby requesting donors to put in new books as well as other important academic materials for success in 2010.

Finally we are appealing to all the donors in the world to give a great response about the requests discussed.

Meheba Friendly Library is found in Northwestern Province of Zambia in Meheba Refugee Settlement. It is the biggest library in Meheba.

However, this library has really helped many people to access their studies, especially the communication classes are completely appreciating the help that the library is offering to them. Therefore, it has shown that this project is pushing people to improve their academics.

In this month we received students from the University of Zambia congratulating the help this library has contributed to their field of studies and improvement that they have gained from this library.

Finally, this is an achievement month especially that we received good comments from our clients. Therefore, I am appealing to all the donors to continue donating books particularly in the subject of management to this library.

Meheba Friendly Library is found in Meheba Refugee Settlement. It is located at Meheba High School.

However, I would like to give a brief summary on the past month’s events. It was a brilliant month because we had many clients visiting the library, not only within the settlement but also from outside the settlement. Therefore, they have been appreciative that their needs have been successfully met from the library. However some of the books like management books, psychology, physiology books, and some of the science books like biology are not available here; hence is is our appeal to the donors to assist us with more in order to satisfy the needs of the people. Thank you.

Domingo is my name and I am the Librarian for Meheba Friendly Library.

Meheba Friendly Library is found in Meheba Refugee Settlement at Meheba Secondary School. It is the biggest library in Meheba which is catering information to different academic levels. It consists of different books at distinct levels including primary, secondary, college, and university.

However, it has brought essential knowledge to people not only in Meheba but in the entire surrounding community. Many people have benefited in this and they are still acquiring information that they need.

Therefore, I appeal to the donors to donate more books for it is bringing change in terms of academic matters in Africa.
