Preparation
Volunteers carefully package the books, and label and prepare the packages
for shipment to Taiwan. The books are then loaded and driven to the shipping
site, where they are packaged on a crate. Volunteers screen, count and
pack books into box, and log the information on control sheets as the
official documents to present to both Taiwanese and American customs agents
for customs clearance. This work is done in one of the volunteer's garage,
which is the main staging station for this project. After the books are
packed in pallets and crates, the boxed books are sent to shipping company's
warehouse in Jersey City, New Jersey where they will be loaded on a vessel
to Taiwan.
