| More than thirty books were presented to the Public Library last week by members of the Soroptimist Club. The donation was part of the celebrations for the Club’s 30th Anniversary. |
President Olive Hodge said that she hoped that the books will be well used and the children will appreciate and take care of them. She noted that during the 30th Anniversary members of the Club reached out to the community in several ways which included visits to two of the senior citizens homes and presented gifts to them. Irma Richardson, who chairs the Education Committee of the Club’s Programme Action, said that the plan was to give thirty books but due to the generosity of donors more were presented. She noted that the library staff was consulted about the selection of books and a variety of non-fiction and fiction books were presented as a result. She expressed appreciation to the generous donors especially the main donor (who is always interested in reading) and hoped that the books will be enjoyed. She thanked the library for their cooperation and hoped that the books will provide many hours of fruitful reading. Director of Library Services, Carmen Oliveras, expressed thanks on behalf of the library staff to both the Soroptimists and the donors. She said that the library was always willing to accept books. Library staff Anika Hughes and Anthea Roach added their thanks to the Soroptimist Club. |
