Miss me?

No, I wasn't in Sri Lanka; I just haven't had anything new to report... well nothing good at least. If you have been reading the newspaper you probably know that the situation in Sri Lanka continues to be confusing and distressing. The LTTE threaten to use suicide bombers one day, and then vow to recommit to the peace process the next. Um, flighty “terrorists” make me nervous. Over 700 people have been killed in the conflicts so far this year, and there doesn’t seem to be any end in sight to the violence… much of which is centred around Trincomalee, the site of one of the children’s libraries so much in need of attention.

So, I can safely say that I will not be traveling to Sri Lanka anytime soon. The FCM is monitoring the situation and looking for alternatives. There is a chance that staff from the Sri Lankan libraries will be brought to Canada for training, which I am sure would be an overwhelming experience for them. One way or another we will find away to help.

Okay, now I have my shots, a passport, and I am ready to go… somewhere. Ideas anyone???
