Visit to American School Foundation (ASF) in Mexico City

On Oct 13, Debby, my director in charge of the library and I, visited ASF and their four, yes, four libraries. Matt Borsage, the librarian of the upper library, spent four hours showing us around. It was a great learning and sharing experience. Thank you Matt for your generous spirit.

We learned many practical tips and ideas from this trip, including the proper and affordable process for plastic covering books, as well many useful contacts for furniture, signage and books.

We also visited Westhill Institute and looked at their primary, secondary and medical library. From Westhill, we learned that you could have strong, proper, steel shelving but also enhance it aesthetically with wood panelling on the edge. Luckily, the distributor for this is in Polanco and I will visit their showroom this week before ordering.
