ソンドゥ･ミリウ公共図書館 Sondu/Miriu Public Library

11 月 21 日 ~23 日にキスムで年次総会を開催しました。ヘラ婦人会の会長と秘書がこの総会に出席し、婦人会の図書館活動を報告しました。次がその参加報告書です。

The conference was so good for interaction and exchange of ideas.

We got to learn how big libraries are run or managed e.g. National libraries from our country and outside the country that is to say International libraries in Kenya.

It emerged that National libraries are run by highly learned librarians i.e. degree holders and above.

We learn that for the better management of the library it requires some with good knowledge of library management or a fully trained person on library management.

We'll try and improve on areas that we feel are not well done.

On the presentation the attendance of the conference really appreciated the Hera WG for what they've done in running a local library.They encouraged the WG to continue with their

good work and always be able to attend such conference.

We were also told to apply to different donors for books like the Jomo Kenyatta Book Foundation.National Library can give training on payment.

The presentation was so good that the people never expected us to give such a wonderful presentation while, the rest used projectors in their presentation.

The Swedish library gave us two story books as a reward.

In the Conference there were research presentations which help in improving some areas.

On the last day of the conference, we all went for a tour at Kit Mikayi in Seme near Kisumu.

Surprisingly the people we met were stakeholders of different positions who represented their departments e.g. lawyers, C.I.DS, Nacad Ombudsmen, etc.

Attending the conference gave us a lot of Courage and Stamina during the interaction with different people.

We are really grateful to all Supporters of the Library for their continued support to Hera Women Group.

May God bless you all!
