Thanks to all the new and continuing donors for purchasing quality children's books for the libraries in Burkina Faso.  Earlier today (May 12) our national representative, Sanou Dounko, was able to purchase 45 children's books at a cost of 100.000 FCFA (about $200) for the community library of Niankorodougou.  These books are very typical of the works of Fatou keita which are much appreciated by young village readers.  Niankorodougou library sees about 20 visits a day to the library and checks out 100+ books each month.  The librarian salary is now covered by the office of the mayor.  The books will be delivered in coming days to Niankorodougou.  Thanks for your help!!!
