1 Carlie Spruill INFO 520 Grant Proposal March 24 th, 2012 A bookmobile program of hope for the town that almost washed away in Minamisanriku, Japan. Executive Summary On March 3 rd, 2011, Japan was hit by a 9.0 magnitude earthquake and tsunami that killed over 20,000 people and devastated the country. Throughout the Tohoku region, 251 libraries were affected by the disaster, entire collections were destroyed, buildings damaged and staff members still remain missing to this day (Okahisa, 2011). Along the coastal areas where entire towns were wiped out, Minamisanriku public library was one of the worst hit, washed away completely (Harlan, 2011). In order to provide entertainment, education and information services to the community of Minamisanriku, the library is proposing to pilot a bookmobile program for one year. The library is asking for $59,310 in grant funds to supplement the $141,200 that Help Toshokon, Toyoda, General Sekiyu, DOCOMO and the National Diet Library have already raised. Background of Institution Minamisanriku was a scenic fishing town on the coast of Japan in Miyagi prefecture, but after the March 11 th tsunami, the peaceful town was left in shambles. According to the Washington Post (2011), the tsunami damaged about 70 percent of Minamisanriku's buildings and left 1,157 people - out of a pre-disaster population of 17,666 - dead or missing. It ripped away the library, the hospital and 24 other public facilities, and left 700,000 tons of debris (Harlan, 2011). The Minamisanriku public library was a busy institution that provided a wealth 1

2 of services to all members of the town. Following the library director s death in the disaster (Okahisa, 2011), the town mayor, two surviving librarians, as well as volunteers across Japan have all pledged their hearts to fill the information needs of the Minamisanriku public library community. Statement of Need The citizens of Minamisanriku are still living in temporary shelters as the debate over where and how to rebuild has come to a standstill (Harlan, 2011) and citizens are currently without access to valuable information resources. Can a bookmobile program support the information needs of the community and fill the role of a public library? The answer is, yes. The Center for the Study of Rural Librarianship conducted a national survey in the U.S. in 1991 in order to determine patron reaction to the bookmobile and its services. The survey asked national respondents how bookmobile access affects one's life and 44 percent of the users said, it has made my life better (Vavrek, 1992). The reasons stated for using the bookmobile included the personal borrowing of books for pleasure and general knowledge, literacy training and access to children s resources and programming (Vavrek, 1992). In the 77th IFLA Conference on Disaster Recovery, Miura Taro, Chair of the International Relations Committee of the Japan Library Association noted in his report that there was a need for bookmobiles in areas of Japan that had their libraries damaged, as bookmobiles can function as a base for library services. He stated that in Kesennuma city in Miyagi Prefecture, the materials in the city s bookmobile collection were completely destroyed, but after receiving an outflow of support, repairs were made to the bookmobile and materials were replenished. 2

3 Kesennuma city was able to continue library services with the bookmobile visiting 80 sites inside the city (Miura, 2011). A book mobile project was also undertaken by the Shanti Volunteer Association (SVA) in Iwate prefecture following the tsunami and was measured with great success (Direct Relief International, 2011). Patrons of the bookmobile said, "it is great that we can borrow books while living in the temporary houses," it makes us want to say "thank you for borrowing the books" (Shanti Volunteer Association, 2011). Proposed Program Project goals Provide library services to the community of Minamisanriku utilizing the bookmobile program Provide resources and workshops that provide for job training skills and rebuilding efforts Provide children s educational and entertainment materials Circulate books/newspapers/multimedia to the community(includes educational and entertainment materials) Provide resources for the disabled Storytelling Sundays Saturday movie events Children s day celebration with children s programming and prizes.

8 General Sekiyu grant $50,000 Docomo fundraiser $1,200 Requested grant $59,310 Total funding $200,510 Conclusion The citizens of Minamisanriku still have hope that their town will be the scenic fishing community it once was, but with the delay in reconstruction efforts, the need for library services in the community is urgent. Other towns in the disaster stricken areas of Tohoku have seen bookmobiles provide their citizens with access to books and tea, children s resources and programming, social networking capabilities and job training assistance. The funding of this program will help to contribute to education, entertainment, and moreover, to hope. References Association of Bookmobiles and Outreach Services (2008).
