\n* Unlimited borrowing from our collection at both libraries. Sign up with one of our librarians to be added as a borrower.
\n* Come and enjoy the library. This year every time there is a primary assembly at Marmara the library has a space booked for \u201cFriends of the Library\u201d so you can use the space for a book club meeting or simply browsing.
\n* We are open to your suggestions. http:\/\/my.iics.k12.tr\/library\/talk-to-your-librarians\/<\/a><\/p>\n

\n* Translating book information into English. We have some books in languages other than English waiting to be catalogued. We need help to have the titles and book information translated so we can add them to our catalogue.
\n* Reading aloud to children in your home language. A couple of times each year we have a home language storytime in the primary school on both campuses. If you would like to read to children in your own language you help can make this a fun experience for our students.
\n* Help grow our collection. When you are back in your home countries visit a bookshop and find out what is the most popular book for your age child. Buy a copy and donate it to our library for everyone to enjoy.
\n* Donate your read magazines or books in good condition when your own bookshelves become too full to take any more new additions.
\n* Prepare books for cataloguing at Marmara campus. If you have a spare hour or so we could use your help getting books ready to catalogue.
\n* Transporting book orders from the USA or the UK. We have a service for our students and staff called \u201cBuy this book please\u201d where they can request books and we purchase them on Amazon. Unfortunately, the cost of delivery is almost as much as the cost of the books. We could make our budget go so much further if you could let us know of a trip to the USA so we can order a few books, have them delivered to you and then you bring them back. We would need about 2 weeks notice and you definitely set the limit in terms of numbers of books<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/i2.wp.com\/my.iics.k12.tr\/library\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/IMG_1244.jpg?resize=1024%2C768\")
