Jocelyn Exploring
The shelves, book labels, and signs are all color-coded to make it easy to use, organize, and it looks cool. |

Everyone loves puzzles!!!
This is not your average library, it's a kinda loud and fun place. Some standard rules apply...and some don't.

Mu'ut (which means 'taro patch' in Yapese) and Jared Enjoying Ranger Rick Magazines
All Yapese have both a Christian name and a Yapese Name, so depending on my mood, I'll use one or the other. |

The children gather for the meeting
The village's children, 8th grade and above, will be running this library as one of their community responsibilities but it's the women who are responsible for the childrens education and therefore the library is their responsibility.
