This is an update on the La Roca Library project, an international librarianship project supported by southern California librarians including SLA-SD member Daria DeCooman.
that of Isidro Santiago, who manages the La Roca Library's computers. However, the RE Cares grant doesn't comprise sufficient funds to cover the cost of additional items needed for the library at this time.
Please, if you have any of the below items, won't you donate them to the La Roca Library? New or used items will be gladly accepted. (For any specific donation, US-based nonprofit Corazon de Vida (www.corazondevida.org), which is helping administer the library's RE Cares grant, can provide a letter for tax purposes.)
If you have any of the below-listed items to donate, please contact me. I'll get the items delivered to La Roca.
Happy holidays,
Daria DeCooman
