  Help Rebuild the Yap State Public Library
On April 9, 2004, Typhoon Sudal hit Yap State, a tiny island in the Pacific
Islands. The Yap State Public Library was devastated. What was once a
vibrant, well-used public library serving a population of 8,000 people was
reduced to a ruin.

Today, the Yap State Public Library has a beautiful rebuilt facility, but
little additional funding exists to restore the collection of books, library
materials, computers, shelving, equipment and furniture to serve the
community of Yap.

Contributions
Last year, the National Library of Australia and the International
Federation of Library Associations and Institutions (IFLA) generously
provided $ 20,000 to help purchase much-needed books, computers, equipment,
shelving, furniture and a locally constructed Circulation Counter.

The Yap State Public Library still desperately needs more books, computers,
shelving and equipment. Basic Reference books, as well as children's books
are seriously lacking. Due to the very high cost of shipping to Yap, locally
built shelving and furniture is least expensive to purchase. For example,
one bookshelf costs $ 475. and at least 10 are still needed. Two filing
cabinets are also needed and purchased locally will cost $ 780. Each.

If you are willing to help fund the Yap State Public Library rebuilding
project, please contact Peter Lor, IFLA Secretary General at
ifla at ifla.org<ifla%40ifla.org>or Arlene Cohen, retired Pacific Islands
Librarian at
arlenegcohen at gmail.com <arlenegcohen%40gmail.com>.

Read, every day, something no one else is reading. Think, every day,
something no one else is thinking. Do, every day, something no one else
would be silly enough to do. It is bad for the mind to be always part of
unanimity.
