What’s happening in the library?

Read about Room to Read

April 6, 2007 · No Comments




If you remember, one of the books Bonnie Campbell Hill waved at us with an enthusiastic recommendation was John Wood’s Leaving Microsoft to Change the World: One Entrepreneur’s Odyssey to Educate the World’s Children.

Just in case you wanted to know more about his project of building libraries in areas like Nepal and Vietnam, but you don’t have the time to read his book, then perhaps you’d be interested in a couple of interviews (in the NewYork Times and on the DesignShare website) as well as the Room to Read website. NB: the book is available in the Singapore National Library (just search for it on their online catalog).

I know we have a lot of good Global Concerns already going on in the school, but if I had to choose a new one, it would be this.
