A friend SARE Elisee was over the other day. He draws BD- bandes dessinees (comic books). It is a tough living in Ouagadougou. Maybe he'll have some time to help Elliot with drawing dinosaurs, monsters and dragons, and the planetary system being attacked by meteorites. Even better, Elisee would be giving regular drawing lessons down in the libraries. We are going to try to get some funding for that. Library programming is really the hardest thing- there are so many logistical obstacles to overcome.A site devoted to thoughts about books, reading, and libraries relevant to Africa mostly by Michael Kevane, co-Director of Friends of African Village Libraries, a small 501(c)(3) non-profit devoted to helping village and small community libraries in Africa.
