Just received the library report for Niankorodougou for the month of October. The number of library visits and books borrowed has continued to go up with the opening of the school year. In the report, Moussa wrote that he is "tormented" every day by the need for more reading space for library visitors. I am currently working on getting an outside covered area built for this purpose. This past week we held an official library opening with community leaders/officials. More information about the opening ceremony and library activities will be updated on the blog shortly.More details at her blog, all4nianko.
