SPES interns (students participating in a nationwide project, paid to intern in government institutions) talk to Fr. Ted, SJ about initiatives they undertook during their month-long stint in La Union Provincial library. We caught them on their second to the last day! (How's that for serendipity?!) While they did a lot of things to improve the library (cataloguing books, arranging reading material and updating labels on shelves), they wished some generous donors would donate Harry Potter and Dan Brown books so that more kids would be enticed to read. BASA has gathered a complete set of Harry Potter books (Books 1-3, brand new, Book 4 - secondhand but still in good condition, through generous donors) for this library. The library is also in need of books for Law and Nursing students. Please contact us if you would like to donate these kinds of books.
