The library in Ouargaye is coming together nicely. The renovation of the building is done. Dounko is working on ordering furniture (chairs for kids and adults, tables, a desk for the librarian, bookshelves) here in Ouaga to have them sent to Ouargaye. The furniture will be ready in about a month, and then we can start buying books and filling up those bookshelves! We hope to have the library open by the end of July. So the librarian will have plenty of time to do any last minute preparations before the reading camp in Ouargaye at the end of September, for which we already have two very eager volunteers signed up. So we're looking good in the centre-est.
