Getting organised

Of the 50 to 60 people who responded to the call for HCL library reading volunteers in Harare around 30 have shared their contact details, so thank you very much. 

From this group of 30 I hope to find teams of regular readers for Mount Pleasant and Highlands for the whole of second term. This will be our starting point and backbone…[there are other libraries that we need to get going…update on that next time as there is a fabulous group of women wanting to get Hatfield Library back on its feet].

Here are the reading dates for Mount Pleasant and Highlands which will continue to run on Friday.. There is one public holiday and 3 days where volunteers may not be as available. Otherwise, readers for these locations should plan and book to read for a minimum of 1 hour between 1.30 and 4.30pm at least for one Friday session and KEEP THAT TIME! Every reader needs to have the phone number of their local librarian and at least one other reader who can do back up in case of emergency. The local librarian will keep a contact sheet and reading schedule.
