From Stories to Self-Help: NAAFI Fund Boosts Brunei’s Library Life
The NAAFI Fund recently provided the Brunei Library in Tuker Lines with a £3,000 grant to significantly upgrade their library and entertainment offerings. This vital contribution has delivered an array of new books and board games, benefiting the entire community.
The library now boasts a substantially enhanced collection, featuring diverse genres from popular series like The Maze Runner to engaging graphic novels such as Enola Holmes. Additionally, a wide selection of the latest self-help books has been introduced to support personal development and well-being within the community.
Younger members of the community also received new resources, including wooden role-play sets like BBQ kits and camping toys, along with musical instruments, all chosen to foster creativity and imaginative play.
Jutta Morford, the project lead, commented on the impact of the grant: “The whole community – from serving personnel to their spouses and children – will benefit from this purchase for many years to come. It has greatly enhanced and modernised our existing library stock and will incentivise more visitors to borrow items.”
Further appreciation was shared by others within the community: “Thanks to the NAAFI grant, we’ve been able to purchase some of the newest self-help books, children’s literature, and developmental toys for our garrison community. This purchase will benefit serving personnel and families for years to come and has helped modernise our newly refurbished library.”
