[LM_NET] setting up a library from scratch (with few resources!)

[Tere Hager <thager@BRENTWOODCHRISTIAN.ORG>]

I am travelling with my church group this summer to an orphanage in Lima,
Peru that serves 750 kids, from babies to young adults. They have recently
built their own school, including a library. My job is to set up the
library. They have a building, books and I assume some shelves. They do not
have a computer or library furniture - like a card catalog. 

 

I need to organize and catalog the books and set up some kind of circ system
I will have a translator to help me. I'm not sure how many books they have,
but I will only have 5 days to do this. 

 

I know some of you brilliant people  have ideas on how I can do this, and my
guess is, a few of you have probably done something similar, so I would love
to have your input. Thanks!
