The ocean-bound shipment for Bolivia of 10,000 books, 30 computers, and library supplies is at last on its way!
After months of receiving donations, sorting, and packaging, the shipment for the libraries in Presto and Patacon left our warehouse today, with 10,000 books, 30 computers and monitors, 6 laser printers, and 4 pallets of library furniture.
