I was up early so headed to Kasana to get money and nails for today. Too early, as the stores were closed. Back for breakfast then off to the house. Sue met me at the woodworkers but they had not had power since before we placed our order so no shelving material. We negotiated for some 2x4's and had them delivered by bike. This wood enabled us to create shelves in the storage room so we could get stuff out of the way. Sue's "sister" Becca arrived to help sort and we were off fixing the shelves and getting everything we had on shelves straightened up. Paper backs are 3 deep in some sections and we have a whole section of National Geographics 3 feet wide and 8 feet high of shelving stuffed. Reference and religious sections, reader's digest and novels. We only need the wood to get it finished but there has not been power all day.
Kids dropped by while we were working and asked for a basketball to play and more men stopped to see when we would be opened. It just gets better and we wont let the loss of the computers destroy the mood as the interest in reading is fantastic and we also found some little kids dresses and shoes to give out. Soccer jerseys have been divided for the different schools and we will start that process before I leave.
The clock purchased by Sam (my son) now hangs prominently on the wall inside the library and it is the only clock I have seen in Luweero.
