It's really exciting when we can make a tangible impact around the world. Mr. Deeb, Elisabeth D.'s father, recently visited Azerbaijan. There, he delivered 2 boxes of college textbooks and business/science reference books from the Bookaneers collection to the library of Khazar University. If you or anyone you know has any of these kinds of books to donate, the library would greatly appreciate them and hopes to continue this cooperation!

PICTURES COMING SOON

Dear Tatyana,

It was a pleasure to meet you on Saturday and visit your university. I was impressed and we hope to continue to provide materials that would be of use to the university and it's students. Based on our conversations we will focus on reference books and textbooks in the areas of business, marketing, sales, computer and petroleum engineering as well as science and engineering reference texts.

Attached you will find a brief description of the student organization that organizes and collects the books.

Again thank-you for your time on Saturday and we look forward to seeing you again.
I have attached a photo that Fariz took as well.

Regards,
Tom Deeb

Dear Thomas,

Thanks a lot for your e-mail and a picture as well.

It is my pleasure to forward to you my enthusiastic thanks letter for your book donation.

Thanks to your help we received a wonderful gift to our library core collection and a wonderful reminder of a thoughtful fan.

Now members of our Community, especially students and teachers have opportunity to enjoy studying of received books. These educational and scientific materials have played an important role in the growth and development of the Khazar University Library Information Center collection.

Khazar University Community will enjoy and make good use of the books we have received. There are already in the university library's open access shelves.

We wish you all the best in your efforts and hope our partnership would be continued.

God bless all your endeavors.

P.S. Please find attached some pictures.

Hey all,

Bookaneers had the first meeting as an official school club on Thursday morning in Mrs. Premoli's room! We'd LOVE it if you'd join -- we're planning on having an informational gathering soon, which we'll publicize. Check out the new officers listed on the left! We have a lot of plans and ideas about expanding local efforts for this year, so we're pretty excited.

Ramsey W. started us off with a bag of 22 books from summer collecting, and special thanks to Josh H.'s girlfriend Abigail W. for a gift card to B&N that we can use to buy books to donate!

Broadening Our Reach

We are very close to establishing Bookaneers as an official school club, thanks to Ramsey W. Our sponsor is Mrs. Premoli. We'll be up and running soon!

We are also in contact with Rahim D., to whom we're very grateful for his ideas and effort. You'll hear more about this later as we work things out.

School has started back up, so we're all very busy, but we'll keep going strong.
