Sue of Cottage 8 has started a library of sorts for the children.
"This is a large plastic crate in an enclosed storage area of the 'lapa' at #8. We have collected about 40 books so far - English and Afrikaans, fiction and non-fiction, new and second-hand - for ages 6 - 15. All the books are numbered and listed. The idea is that they can borrow books for as long as they like, recorded in a little library book, then return them. Its only been going since mid-December 2013. I was pleased to notice that at least 15 books were 'out' over Xmas - borrowed by the Riversong kids and their friends from Berg-en-Dal. Our hope is that the kids will start to find reading fun, absorbing and increasingly easier. Encouraging a culture and love of reading is probably the most successful way to improve language skills and academic results.
I know that everyone is very generous with contributions, but
it would be fantastic if anyone has any books to donate, to leave them with Max
or to just drop them off in the crate (in the bench
cupboard near the fireplace).Thanks,"
