We are pleased to announce that approximately 55,000 books have arrived from Feed the Children.  Most of the books have arrived in open containers and need to be put into boxes for distribution.  We are looking for volunteers to help assemble boxes and place books in those boxes.  The boxes will then be sorted based on age levels.  One volunteer is needed each shift to help find our location and to act as a contact person.  ☺
