Dear Brig Ian, I'm sure if a library is functional, we will get enough people to share their books...
The Government of Goa has a scheme wherein it offers Rs 120,000 per year to help sustain a not-for-profit-run library. (The issue here is that the library must be 'open to the public'.) In the past, we gained really a lot from the Saligao Institute library. But in recent times, due to a whole set of complex reasons, the SI has not been as active in the past -- though your own role in reviving it as an institution needs to be acknowledged. Question: what could be done to rebuild that library? I remember Annette and others (even Fiona) going religiously each Saturday to the "club" to get their quota of two books to read. If not mistaken, the Saligaokars in Bombay had helped to build the library then. If someone gets the SI active, then surely we would have a good plank on which to stand and ask generous people to donate their already-read books. At home, we're making efforts to build and sustain a children's lending library. Very modest.
