Thank you to Marianne and the Umea Library!

Joy would like to thank Marianne and her friends at the Umea Library for the much appreciated Christmas gift that allowed him to pay back the loan he took to get Ancy's Book Stall started.

Marianne is a journalist and dear friend of Joy's. They first met when she was working on her book Vilse i Kerala and later Marianne interviewed Joy for an article posted on the Umea library's intranet. The article sparked the interest of the librarians at the library and they decided to donate funds to pay back Joy's loan.
