Queensland Flood Recovery - Brassall State School
My second week volunteering at Brassall State School made the enormity of the task at hand very clear . The donations are still coming in…. with a pallet of books coming from Tasmania, a Brisbane high school making donations just to mention a few. People’s generosity is breath taking…….. so so so lovely. There is some extraordinary books – three quarters of the library is filled with boxes!! There is still no computer system…. which maybe is not such a bad thing as the books all have to be cleaned, sorted, stamped, covered, bar-coded and then cataloged. It is overwhelming to look at the sheer amount of books and resources ….. better to focus on one box at a time. Hopefully Mum and I can make a little difference.
Linking up with Blessed Little Nest – Life made lovely Monday
Does the school have all of the library shelving sorted out?
I worked today for 6 hours and barely made a dint in the pile. The school hopes to have over 2,000 books ready for next term. Lots of hard work for the next 4 weeks. I am loving it.
those photos are making my heart skip a beat. so much generosity in one place. it’s positively lovely!!!
