 Methodology of Book
Distribution
The book distribution methodology includes,
unloading, categorizing, sorting, developing
inventory lists, and distributing the books to the
applicant organizations.

I. Unloading the Books

The books are unloaded from the containers
gradually in a designated area at Umeed-e-Noor.
A lot of space is needed for the volunteers and HF
staff to effectively sort, list and distribute the
books. Thus, the containers are unloaded one
container at the time.

II. Books Categorization

The books received through the Rotary Books for
the World Program constitute of variety of genres
ranging from ECD (Early Childhood
Development) to college level. The institutions
request specific books as per their needs. So, in
order to ensure the distribution of required books
to each institution, HF must enforce a highly-
organized sorting and categorization methods.
The books are categorized according to their
educational levels, and then a detailed inventory
list is developed to assist in their distribution. All
of the books are skimmed for contents, and
filtered carefully based on cultural sensitivities.
Volunteers including students from different
Universities of Islamabad and Rawalpindi, social
workers from community based institutions, and
HF's Youth Development Centers (YDC)
volunteers play a significant role in sorting and
categorizing all of the Books.
