The SEPAG 'House of Books' has proved
such a success that we would like to increase the space available
for readers, increase the number of books and provide enhanced educational
facilities by constructing a purpose-built library building. Internet
is not currently available in the area, but telephone communication
has recently improved and it is only a matter of time before Internet
access
becomes a reality. When this does happen we would like to install
computers to allow local students access to this facility, which is
already available elsewhere in the country. We would also like students
to have access to educational CD-ROM's. Our planned building also
includes space which can be used for extra educational activities.
Use of the building and its books and computers will be free for all.

We intend to construct the building using locally
produced clay bricks and using local labour. Our model is the building
constructed by the Enat Afer project (see Enat Afer pages). As with that
project the building will provide an example of using readily available
building materials rather than disappearing forest timber.
The plan of our proposed building is given below.
The reading room is in the centre. To the left is
the supplementary room, which could be used to accommodate readers most
of the time, but which
can also be use for teaching. The room to the right has space for a computer
room and accommodation for the librarian/caretaker.
