Today we visited the mayor and vice mayor, Mirza Ismael and Nazir Adam. We expected to be there only a few minutes as many other visits had been brief. When the vice mayor realized it was our last visit the conversation continued much longer than expected. He called the mayor to say he needed to come in to see us off as well.
The mayor had visited Toronto and other Canadian cities in the winter of 2008 and Pak Nazir came with us on the exposure tour to Singapore so we had a fun discussion about which library was the best in the world. The mayor and vice mayor both had strong opinions and Dawna and I tried to stay out of it.
Everyone is very proud that as of yesterday the Pidie library has been chosen as the number one library in Aceh province (out of 23 districts). There was much clapping and cheering when this news was shared.
