Metu Youth Library Book Project

Where are the Books? The Metu Youth Library is in need of books - over 20,000 volumes of books. Thanks to the support of the Opequon Presbyterian Church congregation, the library building has been completed and is awaiting the delivery of furnishings.  But it also needs books. A library with no books is an empty opportunity. And yet it is an opportunity for congregations of Shenandoah Presbytery to connect with the people of Metu, and especially with the children and youth. This library will be open to the whole community, and will be the only "public" library in Metu. The project is being developed in two phases: 1) Fund raising to lease a shipping container which will be filled with 20,000 books 2) Collection of the books from the "Book List" which are being requested to fill the shelves. Fund Raising Where do the funds go?  Send you checks to Shenandoah Presbytery, 1111 N. Main St, Harrisonburg, VA 22802. The check should be made out to "Shenandoah Presbytery" with the memo notation "Metu Library Book Project." Collection The "Book List" has been provided by the leaders of the Illubabor Bethel Synod who are overseeing the development of the library.  Download the booklist here.
