Tomorrow’s Stars Libraries

Tomorrow’s Stars believes in serious students.

Students need a place to go to read, study and read to younger children. We have four libraries in Elmina, all are on school sites.

These libraries all are equipped with:

Many suitable books for many ages.
E-readers and kindles with suitable content.
Pay It Forward students who are librarians

Librarians conduct many activities such as:

Reading Clubs and Girls’ Clubs
Library classes in support of their schools
Students writing their own stories and printing them as books and/or and putting them on e-readers.

LIBRARY AT CHRIST CARES INTERNATIONAL SCHOOL

Christ Cares is our main support school and Leticia has been librarian and the leader of the Girls’ Club. She reads to children in primary grades and has library classes for all grades. The Girls’ club is thriving and is active with Volunteer Sue’s projects of mentoring and writing their own stories. They have raised funds making knitwear and jewelry, and use it for a scholarship for one of the members.

LIBRARY AT BANTUMA PUBLIC SCHOOL

Bantuma School is a Public School very near CC Int’l School on the outskirts of Elmina. This village is a deprived fishing community. The school is seriously overcrowded. This was our first library outfitted by Kathy Weir based on the model of Kathy Knowles libraries in 2009. PIF student Solo was the first librarian, Richard has been librarian for a few years. Volunteer Sue helped students write their own stories in 2011.

PIF students Richard and Emmanuel have been librarians and monitor the reading club.  The reading club has done excursions, book reading and writing contests and other activities.
