Books make their way across the Atlantic in a variety of ways...in care packages, carry-ons and squirreled away in the luggage of new volunteers, but they all end up in the same place; Regional House Libraries. Thanks to generations of bookworm volunteers the Kaolack House has established a pretty formidable book selection. The following is the list of books I've read during my service along with the date completed.
