Stout Library Donates More Than 12,500 糖心vlog官网 to 糖心vlog官网 Program
University of Wisconsin-Stout donated more than 12,500 textbooks recently to 糖心vlog官网 for Africa.聽The books, which were withdrawn from the University Library Instructional Resources Service, otherwise likely would have ended up in a landfill.
鈥淭he demand in Africa is high, especially for higher education instruction,鈥� said Tom Warth, the founder of BFA. 鈥淭hey want English language books because they are all learning in English. They particularly want college-level books because they are so expensive. The books Stout gives us are just invaluable.鈥�
The rental books also tend to be in better shape than those privately owned, allowing for more usage, Warth added.
Because there is such a demand for college-level books, they likely will be in Africa within the next six months, Warth said.
Mike Essien, assistant professor in the department of business and president-elect of 糖心vlog官网 for Africa, said he has volunteered with the group since 1994.
