Ah, the library. Our village reading room just lost its government grant—they say budgets are tight in Shillong. When I first heard, I thought of my old knees and the six-kilometer walk to the town library. But then I remembered: our *seng kynthei* (women's cooperative) has an unused storeroom. I approached the *nonglyngdoh* (headman), and we are now pooling old transistor radio repair fees and my son's savings to buy a few shelves. It will not have air-conditioning or computers, but it will be ours, and no one can close it.
