Call to donate books to a community library
A new community library in Mpumulanga is seeking hardcover and paperback books for people of all ages.
Dear Friends and soon to be friends,
We are asking for hardcover and paperback books for people of all ages. We are starting a community library. We are looking for books, computers and of course, money. Don’t give the money just yet!
WHERE IS THIS?
Esibayeni (Block ‘C’) – Duzane naka Freza
Komatipoort
Nkomazi
Mpumalanga
South Africa
WHAT ARE WE LOOKING FOR?
Right now, we are not very picky. We’ll take whatever we can get.
Having said that, we are not looking for books that should be thrown away (outdated, bad condition etc…)
- Books that free the mind, is what we after but that’s a long term project.
- Books that shaped your life – you can buy a copy and mail it.
- Books that make you happy…or
- You can take out a subscription on behalf of our library
BE A GOOD DONOR
Please give high quality books that are in good condition.
Please don’t give books that are in bad condition, outdated, are inappropriate for the intended recipient.
Dealing with donations of books which turn out to be of no use is not cheap. It is expensive to get rid of books.
A donor should look objectively at the books. All books sent should be in good physical condition, clean, recent and useable.
Classics may not necessarily be new, and rightly so, but they do not have to be bad shape either.
WE ALSO NEED WRITERS
We are also looking for writers who’ll be happy to come to Mpumalanga and run writing workshops for our young people in December. We’ll make this experience worth your while. Bring your passport.
