Quite literally POWER in this instance.
In this video from the TED Global Conference, a 19-year-old Malawian inventor William Kamkwamba talks about how he put together an electricity-generating windmill for his family from spare parts using rough plans that he found from a book in the library.
So, don’t underestimate the power of the work that we are doing in libraries. And remember to give your all in answering the enquiries you receive as they might result in someone inventing or building something out of nothing.
