Here are some photos of our library time yesterday at the Children's Home. The children were so excited to run and get their books and exchange them for new ones. Not one child lost their book, I think that's pretty amazing as it was the first week! Even all the neighbourhood kids brought their books back and we got another two signed up.
We have two shelves so far, this is the easy book shelf; we're still teaching them how to put books back nicely on the shelf, something they've never done before.
This is the more advance shelf, we have a few kids that borrow books from here. We are believing one day the whole room will be filled with shelves and books!
Dorcas even gets to check out a book, how cute is she!
Checking out books; I make them read me the titles of the books they are checking out, some of them really struggle with this but have improved so much since coming.
Couldn't resist posting this one of Jude and Simon who's from our neighborhood. Simon is like our fourth son, he's always over the house, has sleep-overs, he's Josh and Seth's best friend even though he's 13. He loves the Lord and is a very sweet boy.

Holly,
that is amazing! I am so happy for these kids to have an opportunity to read books they other wise wouldn't have access to. Good job!
