Summary of project status and achievements:
This month the libraries continued to run while the PM was away for training and vacation. The D library ran several reading circles where the librarian read children’s books to small children. The community’s response was very positive. The A librarian tried to run some of the programs but was unable to because attendance was so low. Most of the clients in A are boarding students, and when the school is closed there are not many clients.
As well, the Library Coordinator, Robert, was married on January 10 and the PMs and several FORGE staff attended the wedding to celebrate with him.
Future activities and projections:
In January the libraries will run a quiz program. This program has not been run in several months as it was becoming routine. We believe the break from this program will help it to be met with new enthusiasm in January.
Indicators and statistics:
Please see attached M&E spreadsheet.
Substantial problems or issues:
None at this time.
Wishes or requests:
The libraries are requesting for higher level books. As well the PM receives requests for more management books and more up-to-date research materials.
Budget:
Please see expense monitor.
