SIL have a common room that members use for all-in lunches once a week, movies on Friday nights (on the only TV on centre), prayer meetings and various other small functions among the staff. The common room also holds shelves and shelves full of general reading books for people to borrow. With most of the shelves bowed and straining under the weight of 2 rows of books (rendering the row at the back pretty much useless), John took on another side project to improve the capacity of the existing shelving. A month or more in the making (with Lebanon in the middle) due to its ‘side project’ status, the shelves were finally finished and installed the week we returned. There is only just enough space for all of the books even with the addition of the new shelves! We spent half a day roughly reorganizing the books, but with many unlabeled and yet to be categorized, this is a work in progress. Health permitting, this is something Katie hopes to chip away at to mix up her tasks here at SIL.
