Library Cataloging
The Inform the World Program sends volunteers from around the world to assist rural librarians in South Africa, Guatemala and Honduras. The volunteers conduct practical service projects determined by the needs of their host libraries. Previous ITW volunteers have trained librarians in basic skills such as how to inventory, weed, repair and catalog books. They also used their knowledge and creativity to help libraries reach out to and meet the needs of their communities. They have painted murals, taught workshops, made display boards, produced publicity fliers and pamphlets and helped clean, brighten and re-organize libraries. They have worked on projects ranging from creating a bookmobile to training students to work in their own libraries. After returning to the U.S., the volunteers also work with WLP to design projects that will continue to help the libraries they visited.
