Hello Folks: just wanted to update the membership on APLA's progress with the fundraising for the Abdoulaye Maiga School and Community Library in Tabakoro, Mali. The Grow a Library Committee sold tickets on a garden-themed basket and congratulations to the winner of that basket - Jessica Newhook from the Ferriss Hodgett Library, Corner Brook, Newfoundland. Thank you to the APLA 2010 conference organizers and the attendees of the 2011 APLA Conference in St. John's, Newfoundland. I am please to report that we raised approximately $600.00 during the conference itself, bringing our total funds raised thus far to just over $1800.00. We only have a little way to our goal so if you'd like to contribute you still can by visiting http://www.codecan.org/get-involved/adopt-library/find-library/abdoulaye-maiga-school-tabacoro Once again ... thank you to all who have supported our partner library throughout the year and especially for your contributions during the conference. Donald Moses on behalf of the Grow a Library Committee
