From North Carolina to KwaZulu Natal: World Library Partnership

Abstract

In July of 2003 most nights found me huddled in my sleeping bag,reluctant to leave its warmth to rush down the hall to the dormitorybathroom. It was the tail-end of winter in Mpumalanga Province in theRepublic of South Africa, and I was there as a volunteer with the WorldLibrary Partnership (WLP), a North Carolina non-profit organizationdevoted to promoting global understanding through support of community libraries in South Africa and other developing countries.
