2. Fill the BDB volunteer form (you can find the form in http://groups.yahoo.com/group/1001buku/files/REGISTRASI/BDB). After completing the form, send it to the Registration Team (finesyarif@yahoo.com) to be processed.
3. Later, Registration Team will send you your registration number, an Introduction Letter addressed to the building management, and a set of BDB Kit (The BDB Kit is downloadable. Look it up at http://groups.yahoo.com/group/1001buku/files/REGISTRASI/BDB/KIT BDB/). Make sure that Adobe Acrobat Reader software has been installed in your computer so that you can access the files.
4. Send the Introduction Letter and 1001buku Profile (available in the BDB Kit set) to the building owner/management in order to get authorization for putting a BDB in the building.
5. Prepare a box which is neat and big enough and as accordance with the building owner/management. The box may be a rattan or a plastic container, or even a cardboard box which is decorated as nicely as possible.
6. Print and laminate the BDB logo (available in the BDB Kit set) on a paper (recommended on a color paper) and stick it on the box you have prepared.
7. Create a flyer to inform people in the neighborhood of the availability of your BDB, make several copies of the flyer (recommended on color papers), and then distribute them. You may make your own creation of the flyer by referring to the Guide for Creating Flyers (available in the BDB Kit set).
